MATLAB: Every time I push to the remote GitHub repository, I have to re-input the username and password. Is there some way to avoid this by having MATLAB store this information

gitgithubMATLABmypasswordpushremoterepositoryusername

It is convenient to have the Git support in MATLAB, but every time I push to the remote repository, I have to re-input my username and password. Is there some way to avoid this by having MATLAB store this information? When I use SourceTree to manage my Git repositories the account info is stored, but then SourceTree is not embedded in MATLAB. I would like to have the best of both.

MATLAB: Does SSH authentication with Git not work

One possible cause for the issue could be the improper cloning of the repository. In order to setup SSH authentication with Git, clone the repository using SSH and not HTTPS.

Another cause for the issue could be the improper format in which the SSH key has been generated. For more details, refer to the following MATLAB Answers post:

MATLAB: Can’t perform git push/fetch/pull from Command Window

Try this as well, this might be the actual solution.

Replace 'username' and 'your-repository'

!git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/your-repository.git

This will enable you to do do what you want, I had the same issue and this what's fixed it.

In case you commit and push from command window and end up with an error such as this,

git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). 
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
% Open Git Bash
system('"C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe"'); %wherever is located
%your project path should be current dirrectory, type
git push
% and close Git Bash

Also, commit button from toolbar ignores -S option (GPG signed) in global config.
