Dear Maintainer,

since the last KDE plasma update git push fails with an error

git: fatal: could not read Password for <url>: Permission denied

When working locally I can use

export GIT_ASKPASS=`which ksshaskpass`

as a workaround.

But that does not help if I am working via SSH.

How can I simply enter the password on the console?

Best regards

The problem seems to stem from missing accessibility of /dev/tty:

$ ls /dev/tty -la
crw--w---- 1 root tty 5, 0 Oct  6 06:19 /dev/tty
