Username is your GitHub account name. Password is your private auth token. To make HTTP git connection (any HTTP git kind) easier, change remote address to https://<accountname>@host/path.git Then it will reuse your auth name and only ask you for a password. To make it EVEN easier, install GCM (it comes prepackaged with GfW). https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager/releases/latest Download, unpack to temp. directory, rename NOTICE to NOTICE.gcm.txt (recommended), then move the files to /usr/libexec/git-core/. Run git config --global credential.helper manager git config --global credential.modalPrompt true -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, February 10, 2025 18:22:08 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
