Re: Github Token Authentication
Hi all,
Sorry ... but I must be missing something obvious here.
I've used Git/GitHub in Netbeans 8.2 for several years now with no problem.
Now, as per this thread, I need to move from a password to a Personal
Access Token.
Tomáš suggested using the token as a password ... however ... I cannot find
where to put the password now.
Obviously I put it in at some stage, but now I cannot find where to update
the GitHub password.
Can anyone guide me?
What am I missing?
Any clue highly appreciated.
-Damian

Re: Github Token Authentication

From
https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/
What you need to do today
<https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/#what-you-need-to-do-today>
- For developers, if you are using a password to authenticate Git
operations with GitHub.com today, you must begin using a personal access
token
<https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token>
over
HTTPS (recommended) or SSH key by August 13, 2021, to avoid disruption. If
you receive a warning that you are using an outdated third-party
integration, you should update your client to the latest version.
- For integrators, you must authenticate integrations using the web
or device
authorization
<https://github.blog/changelog/2020-07-27-oauth-2-0-device-authorization-flow/>
flows
by August 13, 2021, to avoid disruption. For more information, see
Authorizing
OAuth Apps
<https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/authorizing-oauth-apps> and the
announcement on the developer blog
<https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-password-auth/>
.
From link
https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
Using a token on the command line
<https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token#using-a-token-on-the-command-line>
Once you have a token, you can enter it instead of your password when
performing Git operations over HTTPS.
For example, on the command line you would enter the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/*username*/*repo*.git
Username: your_username
Password: *your_token*
Personal access tokens can only be used for HTTPS Git operations. If your
repository uses an SSH remote URL, you will need to switch the remote from
SSH to HTTPS
<https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/managing-remote-repositories/#switching-remote-urls-from-ssh-to-https>
.
If you are not prompted for your username and password, your credentials
may be cached on your computer. You can update your credentials in the
Keychain
<https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/updating-credentials-from-the-macos-keychain>
to
replace your old password with the token.
Instead of manually entering your PAT for every HTTPS Git operation, you
can cache your PAT with a Git client. Git will temporarily store your
credentials in memory until an expiry interval has passed. You can also
store the token in a plain text file that Git can read before every
request. For more information, see "Caching your GitHub credentials in Git
<https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/caching-your-github-credentials-in-git>
."
On the page there are further links.
See if this helps to start with.
