tokens VS git-credential-manager

First of all, you need to generate a new GitHub Token. You can generate a token in your GitHub account settings at https://github.com/settings/tokens. Make sure to add the ‘read:packages’ scope to your token.

First, generate the GitHub token here.

Environment Variables Create a file .env in the root folder and add your own github api token as below

Go to the Personal access tokens area in the Developer settings of your GitHub profile and click Generate new token.

Versioning The initial step in this workflow involves generating version numbers based on git tag numbers. To access repository information, it's necessary to include a GitHub token in the secrets. You can create a GitHub token by following this link. Please keep in mind that secret names cannot start with the term GITHUB. For instance, you might save your GitHub token as TOKEN_GITHUB.

GitHub has tucked the personal access tokens admin in a slightly hard-to-find location. From anywhere in GitHub, you can click on your profile image → Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens.

Generate a classic PAT (personal access token) from Github with repo and admin:org scopes at least.

YOUR_TOKEN="no_token_for_you" # IMPORTANT: your Github API access key, make one at "https://github.com/settings/tokens"

You should click on that and then you will see Tokens (classic) which will bring you to https://github.com/settings/tokens

In order to publish the artifacts to GitHub, we need to create a personal access token from the GitHub developer settings page and add it to the environment variables section of the Travis CI repository. The same variable api_key is used in the deploy phase of our configuration.

You can still use HTTPS, just not username/password as authentication. Personally, I think using HTTPS Git Credential Manager is simpler than SSH, as GCM allows you to use GitHub OAuth in your browser to sign in.

Hi, use git Credential Manager https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager been using it with Github and Azure Repo. Make sure that you update your machine global git config to use it.

Download Git for Windows and choose Git Credential Manager (GCM) as credential helper on the installation steps.

This is an application indepentend from git, so best use its channels. A quick search through their Github repo found this issue: https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/issues/899

Download the GCM Deb file from here - https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/releases/download/v2.0.877/gcm-linux_amd64.2.0.877.deb

When working with external Git repositories it is best practice to use multi-factor HTTPS authentication. It is best to leave the default option by using the built in Git Credential Manager.

(We haven't started using Git Credential Manager Core yet and I haven't done any research into it, so I don't know if it'll throw a wrench in things.)
