title: Cloning into ' Error encountered while cloning the remote repository: Git failed with a fatal error.Authentication failed for TFS Visual Studio 2019
body: <p>To fix this error</p>
  <p>I found a workaround. It turns out that for some (but not all) installations the RC installer is installing a prerelease version of git. You can fix the issue by installing the latest version of git over the Visual Studio copy (VS2017 does not use the git in your PATH).</p>
  <p>Download the 32-bit version of git here: <a href="https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.11.1.windows.1/PortableGit-2.11.1-32-bit.7z.exe" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.11.1.windows.1/PortableGit-2.11.1-32-bit.7z.exe</a></p>
  <p>Run the file you downloaded. You’ll see a popup window that asks where you’d like to unpack git to, enter this folder:</p>
  <p>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\Git</p>
