Is there a way to prevent git from opening a password prompt box on Windows?
Delgan
While pushing on a remote repository using git bash, my password is required and asked. This is not a problem.
The issue is that I was used to just type my password into the git console, but then I switched from Linux to Windows and my password is asked into a prompt box instead of the console.
I find it much less convenient: I have to wait for one second that it appears and sometimes I lose the focus.
What is strange is that if I close the dialog box, then the password is asked from within the git console. This is what I am looking for.
Do you know how could I prevent the box to be prompted and just let me type my password into the console, please? Is there some git option I should modify?

This seems to be related with the core.askPass option of git-config.
The documentation says:
core.askPass
Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask for a password can be told to use an external program given via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the GIT_ASKPASS environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the SSH_ASKPASS environment variable or, failing that, a simple password prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
My default configuration contains nothing about this option, so I guess it fall back to the "simple password prompt".
To override this behavior, I just had to set the option to an empty string:
git config --global core.askPass ''
Then, the password is asked from the console without prompting anything.
