Hi everyone. I just need some help. I entered git push -u origin master. It asked me for username and password. I entered my username just fine and pressed enter then it goes to password, but I cannot type anything. All i can do is click enter and then it fails since no password was entered. Please help. Thanks

This is a feature of command line, passwords by default are always hidden to prevent unwanted eyes from seeing what you're typing.
All you need to do is type in your password like you normally would for a website and hit enter.
Some clients support copying and pasting passwords if you prefer that over typing blind.
Hope that helps.

So just type your password as you normally would and then press enter. It will enter. And if you want to make this problem go away for good. Look into SSH tunneling from github. It will save you time, from always having to input your password
