Windows git bash interactive is not working?

Question

I have download gitbash clone a repository through the command line and worked fine, when I am trying to push I am getting a :

fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such file or directory.

If I use the git ui to push it's asking me for a username and password and it's actually works.

i've been seeing this too trying to set up some co-workers machines.. It appears to be only Windows platform specific.. it must be a bug with git for windows. — ddavison, Feb 17 '14 at 15:25

Did you clone from your fork of the repository or did you clone directly from a repository? If its the latter then you may not be able to push your changes. Instead try sending a pull request.

Also see this related question: Git push requires username and password

This is the result of a very serious bug in Git for Windows 1.8.5.2-preview20131230.

Downgrading to Git for Windows 1.8.4 should resolve this issue.
