Greetings, KARR, DAVID!

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
