## Credentials
<a name="codecatalyst-troubleshoot-credentials"></a>

If you encounter a dialog asking for credentials when attempting to clone a git-based repository from CodeCatalyst, your **AWS CodeCommit Credential helper** may be configured globally, causing interference with CodeCatalyst. For additional information about the AWS CodeCommit credential helper, see the [Set up steps for HTTPS connections to AWS CodeCommit repositories on Windows with the AWS CLI credential helper](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codecommit/latest/userguide/setting-up-https-windows.html) section of the *AWS CodeCommit* User Guide.

To limit the **AWS CodeCommit Credential helper** to handling only CodeCommit URLs, complete the following steps.

1. open the global git config file in: `%userprofile%\.gitconfig`

1. Locate the following section in your file:

   ```
                           [credential]
                               helper = !aws codecommit credential-helper $@
                               UseHttpPath = true
   ```

1. Change that section to the following:

   ```
                           [credential "https://git-codecommit.*.amazonaws.com"]
                               helper = !aws codecommit credential-helper $@
                               UseHttpPath = true
   ```

1. Save your changes, then complete the steps to clone your repository.
