How to remove credentials from Git?

Question

Aryan Kumar · Answer

There are two ways to remove credentials from Git:

Using the Credential Manager

The Credential Manager is a Windows utility that stores credentials for various applications. You can use the Credential Manager to remove Git credentials.

To do this, follow these steps:

Open the Credential Manager.
In the Credential Manager, expand the Windows Credentials section.
Find the Git credentials that you want to remove.
Right-click the Git credentials and select Delete.
Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

Using the git config command

You can also use the git config command to remove Git credentials.

To do this, follow these steps:

Open a command prompt.
Run the following command:

git config --global --unset credential.helper

This will unset the credential.helper configuration setting, which will cause Git to no longer store credentials.

Note: If you have used the git config command to store the Git credentials in a file, you will need to delete the file to completely remove the credentials.
