heroku login does not setup git credentials properly

[jakoss]

Reproduction pattern:

heroku login # i can login just fine, it passes, i'm logged in to proper account. I can use commands like heroku logs etc - i'm logged in properly
heroku git:remote -a myapp -r heroku-staging # this works, sets new remote with proper address
git push heroku-staging master # at this point i get the popup to provide git credentials

I tried to logout and login again, restarted machine multiple times - nothing helped.

Please help me diagnose and fix that

Additional info

This issue showed up after upgrading to v11.8.1

Machine: Macbook pro m4 (Tahoe 26.5.2)

@jakoss thank you for letting us know about this. Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce this, but as I'm investigating what's going on here, I have a question for you... Is it prompting for your username and password or only for your username?

In the meantime, if you run HEROKU_NETRC_WRITE=true heroku login the CLI will save your credentials in your .netrc file as it has done in the past (and not in your system keychain, as it started doing in v11.8.0) and hopefully your git push command will work as it used to.

@k80bowman thanks for quick reply. The prompt i'm talking about is that git credential popup that want's me to give both username and password. I can confirm that HEROKU_NETRC_WRITE=true heroku login did fix the issue for me :)
