Updating your credentials via Keychain Access

  1. Click on the Spotlight icon (magnifying glass) on the right side of the menu bar. Type Keychain access then press the Enter key to launch the app. Spotlight Search bar
  2. In Keychain Access, search for {% data variables.command_line.backticks %}.
  3. Find the "internet password" entry for {% data variables.command_line.backticks %}.
  4. Edit or delete the entry accordingly.

Deleting your credentials via the command line

Through the command line, you can use the credential helper directly to erase the keychain entry.

$ git credential-osxkeychain erase
host={% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}
protocol=https
> <em>[Press Return]</em>

If it's successful, nothing will print out. To test that it works, try and clone a private repository from {% data variables.product.product_location %}. If you are prompted for a password, the keychain entry was deleted.
