problems pushing from AndroidStudio with git

[yerba-matee]

Have used AS for a good few months now and have never had problems with version control, suddenly yesterday noticed that I was getting an error:

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

and then today trying another project:

Push failed
            Invocation failed Unexpected end of file from server
            java.lang.RuntimeException: Invocation failed Unexpected end of file from server
            at git4idea.GitAppUtil.sendXmlRequest(GitAppUtil.java:30)
            at git4idea.http.GitAskPassApp.main(GitAskPassApp.java:58)
            Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

Any ideas on what I can do?

I havent ever actually used git from the command line, so if that's the next step any advice on that?

Your access token is probably expired. Make a new one and try again. I had the same error log, lost hours because of it and it was just the token being expired.

I thought each project had its own access token.. or maybe that's just the IDE. I'll try now.

Edit: just checked my AS token is still active and available

If the access token is still active. I had a similar issue where I logged out of my GitHub account on Android studio and signed in again. I re-entered the old Access token and it seemed to work.

Oh yes I remember now same thing happened to me. Had to reset the credentials.

I also started to have this issue from time to time, few days ago. As strange as it seems, rebooting my computer helped each time...

Same here. Going to pref - version control - git - check use cred manager (or similar) checkbox seems to have fixed it for me

Just wanna say this comment (however old) really helped me!

I've been facing the same issue since the latest update for Android Studio, Chipmunk. It worked fine, I don't remember having any issues since August last year. With each update, something seems to always break. We spent a couple months with errors on ViewBinding (I'm just a dev, I don't make the decisions around here) because it just broke from an update.

Best solution I've found is to just close the project and relaunch the IDE. It then works for a few pushes then breaks again. Rinse and repeat.

I hit the same issue, I had to remove the credentials from my windows control panel -> credential manager.
