I finally got a git account, my site is here<\/a>. This page is about how to, but does not have any command runes. They are held elsewhere<\/a>. This page was started in 2011 and I have returned to using git at several times over the years. I tidied up the page in Feb 2019 and Nov 2022, transferring some out of date text to comments. I moved the comments about GCM to another page<\/a>. This page is mostly about github.

My page https:\/\/davelevy.info\/wiki\/using-git\/<\/a> documents the old CLI, pre 2FA and will be amended to document using branches in git, and thus github.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This page is being updated to document how to use 2FA, well sort of. I was trying to get this to work, mainly on raspbian at the time and gave up since drag and drop still worked.. I returned in March 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

gh auth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the first deprecated CLI logins, they produced a lot of very complicated documentation and solutions. It came to pass that simpletons like me were given a command line login interface<\/p>\n\n\n\n

gh auth login<\/a><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This issues a token which you enter into a logged in web session. It requires the installation of the gh<\/code> package. I have a script in the ..\/installers folder, fetch-gh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
