This document will go through how to integrate your GitHub username and password with the Farm (so you don't have to type them in everytime you push to github). This material is taken from this stackoverflow page and this Git page.
Navigate to one of your github repos (or clone one and navigate into it). Make sure this directory is NOT behind the master.
git config credential.helper store
git push
You should be prompted to enter your user name and password––enter them!
Username: <type your username> Password: <type your password>
Now you should see a .git-credentials file in your home directory! This will allow you to use git a bit more freely but double check that you are the only one with permission to view the file:
cd ~
ls -al .git-credentials
and you should see something like:
-rw------- 1 sejoslin sejoslin 42 May 22 08:26 .git-credentials
make sure you see -rw------- permissions associated with the .git-credentials. If you do not then change the permissions on this file with:
chmod 600 .git-credentials
Be free and git push the day away!
