Git log out user from command line

I came across this same problem, and the above answer didn't work for me because github was being fed my credentials through windows credential manager instead of git bash.

You may have to check windows credential manager and delete the github entry under control panel > user accounts > credential manager > Windows credentials > Generic credentials

Remove your SSH keys from ~/.ssh (or where you stored them).

Remove your user settings:

git config --global --unset user.name
git config --global --unset user.email
git config --global --unset credential.helper

Or all your global settings:

git config --global --unset-all

Maybe there's something else related to the credentials store, but I always used git over SSH.

On a Mac, credentials are stored in Keychain Access. Look for Github and remove that credential. More info: https://help.github.com/articles/updating-credentials-from-the-osx-keychain/

I am in a corporate setting and was attempting a simple git pull after a recent change in password.

I got: remote: Invalid username or password.

Interestingly, the following did not work: git config --global --unset credential.helper

I use Windows-7, so, I went to control panel -> Credential Manager -> Generic Credentials.

From the credential manager list, delete the line items corresponding to git.

After the deletion, come back to gitbash and git pull should prompt the dialog for you to enter your credentials.
