7th Sept. 2024
I changed my laptop recently. I was unable access GitHub from command line after that.
I was getting this error.
remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021.
remote: Please see https://docs.github.com/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories#cloning-with-https-urls for information on currently recommended modes of authentication.
fatal: Authentication failed
Fix
The fix is to install git-credential-manager. This is mentioned by Github but very poorly.
Once the manager is installed, git push works like ever before. We don't need to create new tokens after every few months.
