Unable to connect to Github Enterprise with PAT

David Lucas August 26, 2025

In SourceTree I was unable to connect to Github Enterprise using my PAT and following the documentation.

It just shows Authentication failed.

Hi @David Lucas ,

Probably would need more details about this:

  1. Which version of Sourcetree are you running?
  2. Are we talking about Windows or Mac?
  3. Which docs/steps have you followed? Was it this?

Version 4.2.2 and above should (by release notes) support PATs for Github accounts 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

SourceTree: 3.4.13

Windows 11

We followed the official instructions to create a Personal Access Token (PAT) and use that.

 

I see yours show OAUTH. We will try that. Thanks

Cool! Feel free to write it down here if OAuth works (or if upgrading the product to 4.2.2 works with PAT), to potentially help others if anyone stumbles upon the same/similar thing.
