title: New to GitHub - Error when pushing to a repository
body: <p>When I commit my changes and attempt to Sync / Push to my github repository, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <p>HttpRequestException encountered.
     An error occurred while sending the request.
  cannot spawn askpass: No such file or directory
  could not read Username for '<a href="https://github.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com</a>': terminal prompts disabled
  Pushing to <a href="https://github.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/</a>/ComicBookGallery</p>
  
  <p>I am using VS2017 Community, and using the Github for VS Extension. I've googled this error but have been unable to solve. Running VS in administrator mode makes no difference,</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>(I am logged into GitHub within VS, and can log into my account fine on github.com)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
