Thank you, John Chesshir P.S.  I also found this older post, which appears related, but has clearly been fixed: https://superuser.com/questions/1114193/when-cloning-on-with-git-bash-on-windows-getting-fatal-uriformatexception-enco.  Include just in case that helps get closer to the latest problem. ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2018-03-23 09:42 Subject: Re: UriFormatException output when interacting with a Git server Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1803231039490.77%40ZVAVAG-6OXH6DA.rhebcr.pbec.zvpebfbsg.pbz In-Reply-To: ``` Hi John, On Thu, 22 Mar 2018, John Chesshir wrote: > I'm getting this error on a fresh install of git version 2.16.2.windows.1: > > fatal: UriFormatException encountered. >    queryUrl Thank you for posting this report. I would like to ask for more information, though. Ideally, open a bug report at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/new which has a template to fill out the most important information.

If this is a bug in Git (or more likely in Git Credential Manager, judging by the error message), you are more likely to receive assistance in fixing that bug on the special-purpose bug tracker on GitHub.
