I had Visual Studio Code installed with Git Bash on Windows. I followed a tutorial a while back, don't remember which one, and I was pushing and pulling repositories fine to my personal github account.
To satisfy my employer's request, I wanted to create a beginner's tutorial on how to create a Github account, create a repository, download and install VS Code, install git bash and commit/push something to the newly created github repository using the gitbash terminal on VS Code, and brand it with the employer's logo using a video editor.
Everything went great, I followed the instructions in
How to remove git account from local machine and add new account
to remove my credentials in VS Code/Github so I could push the code to the newly created github account for the purpose of creating the tutorial.
But when I try to push, I get this error:
myaccount@LAPTOP-4KKKPK MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs/oop/exercise1 (main)$ git push --set-upstream origin main
Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/guestaccount/.ssh/id_rsa':
In the new github account I did not set a SSH key. The SSH key was stored on Windows. So I am stuck here. I have been google searching on how to remove the SSH key from VS Code, but was not successful.
In short, could you please help me figure out the steps to:
- Remove ALL github configurations from Windows and VS Code including the prompt to request from me credentials for a SSH key?
Thank you
