Failed to push branches: branch1, branch2

Submit starts to run before I've typed in my keys password and fails.

If I copy git push --force-with-lease origin branch1 branch2 into my command line (i.e. run the same command through git), everything works fine.

Thanks for reporting. This looks similar to #433. Do you think the prompting is happening during git fetch or git push?

In my case, I use ssh-agent and ssh-add -K /path/to/key (on macOS) to unlock the key, and then git sync --pull works for me. Does that workaround work for you?

[slymon99]

Sorry for the late response - yes that workaround works for me. The prompting is happening during git fetch

I'll close this issue as a duplicate of #721. I wasn't able to find a good workaround (see the issue description there); if you have any ideas, post them on the issue.
