How To Use Github Tokens on the Command Line

GitHub’s access policy requires you to use tokens instead of username/password to update your repositories.

To adapt your existing local / cloned repos to token based auth: $ git remote remove origin $ git remote add origin https://[TOKEN]@github.com/[USER]/[REPO] $ git push Clone repos using token based authentication (non public repos) $ git clone https://[username]:[token]@github.com/[accountname]/[reponame]
