So it seems Git for Windows version 2.29 does not support password authentication anymore. It now requires you to open a browser to log in for the next Fetch/Pull/Whatever? Does anyone know what this might mean for all the new Git features in PB 2019 R3?

From release notes:

This version upgrades existing users of Git Credential Manager for Windows (which was just deprecated) to Git Credential Manager Core ("GCM Core", which is the designated successor of the former). This is necessary because GitHub deprecated password-based authentication and intends to remove support for it soon, and GCM Core is prepared for this change.

Hi Chris,

You can use a PTA as both the user name and password in PB IDE to access your repository on GitHub. 

To create a PTA, you can click on your icon on the upper-right corner on GitHub > Settings > Developer Settings > Personal access tokens ...

Regards,

Tom Jiang
