2018-08-11 Saturday - Git Push Error to Bitbucket

Today I created a Bitbucket account - and while experimenting with it - noted that I got the following error whenever I performed a "git push" (note: "git clone" worked fine)

fatal: HttpRequestException encountered.
   An error occurred while sending the request.

NOTE: (I'm already running Git v2.18.0)

• Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.16.2.

You may need to update Microsoft Git Credential Manager for Windows

"Allow Bitbucket access tokens to be cast as credentials, and properly handle personal access tokens used as authentication in network requests. Now that Bitbucket access tokens are allowed to be case to credentials, start returning them from OAuthAuthenticator"

See the v1.17.1 changelog for Bitbucket related fixes...

NOTE: This fixed the problem for me
