Had to go to Azure —> App Service —> Deployment User and save credentials. Then it worked.

At this step "git push azure master" it prompted me for credentials , after providing deployment user credentials it throws an error "fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://azurewebsites.net/'"
I have changed the deployment user from portal but hitting same error

while deploying to a web app, i had to go to Deployment Center, Deployment Credentials. And then use either the App Credentials or create User Credentials. After this, delete the cached credentials on the local machine (windows: Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager). run "git push webapp master:master" again, enter either of the Deployment Credentials. This worked for me.
