title: Prevent git from popping up gnome password box
body: <p>I have not asked a question of this nature before, so this may not be the correct site for this.</p>
  
  <p>I use the xfce terminal in drop-down mode connected to a hotkey. It closes when another window becomes active, which is just fine. What is not fine, however, is that when I use git and have it pull or push to an https url, it pops up a fun box to ask me for my password instead of just letting me enter it directly on the command line.</p>
  
  <p>Normally I would google around to find the answer to this, but sadly most people are trying to get git to stop asking for a password altogether rather than prevent a dialog box, so this is hard for me to google (trust me; I've tried for a couple months now on and off when I get annoyed enough).</p>
  
  <p>How can I prevent git from popping up any graphical windows for things like passwords? Git says that it is using <code>/usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass</code> for asking the password, so if there is some configuration option to prevent it from using that (or that has an equivalent effect), that would be great.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much for any help.</p>
