My test system runs on Windows10. Projects are enabled and I cloned my flows from github.  
Pushing data back results in an endlos loop to enter username, password for this project.  
The terminal shows the attached error messages.

VS Code is installed on the same windows10 system and works without any problems (push, pull, ..)

Using git in the project directory works also and afterwards NodeRED is in sync.

How do you run and which version of Node-RED?

I did install nodeRED in directory C:\Users\hekla\node-RED and use VS Code terminal to use command `node red` in the sub directory node\_modules\node-red.

This is a known issue when using HTTP auth on Windows. If you switch to cloning using ssh it should work.
