Who has been working with client GitKraken as GIT, you will know that authentication required?

For the application, log in with: [email protected]

The repository is with: [email protected]

It requires credentials to make a pull, but I tried with both emails and usernames, and does not allow me.

In SourceTree it works perfectly, but here not!. Thanked fully!.

The credentials asked for, are the credentials for the repo you are trying to access, not for your Gitkraken account, which is very confusing.

If you are using visualstudio.com, you would have to generate Git credentials. Do this by browsing to your project, click 'Code' and then on the right top corner, there is a button 'clone'. Press that, a popup opens. In there, click 'generate git credentials'. Fill in a username/password combo and press 'save git credentials'. That combo will now work with GitKraken.
