## Motivation
I was trying to find a solution to the annoying popup message asking for user credentials when Git is dealing with https protocol.
It's pretty annoying when working with an SSH connection or even on a X-server based terminal, it's slow as I am accessing remote machines in some cases.

## Solution
Basically the solution is `core.askPass` config field, according to this answer[2] you can use the following command to disable GUI based prompts and instead using Shell prompts.
```
git config --global core.askPass true
```

## On CentOS
I am using CentOS the update for this answer in Stack Overflow suggesting that the following command will solve the issue, and it did for me!
```
git config --global core.askPass ""
```

Let me know what do you think.
