Setting Up HTTPS Authentication
HTTPS authentication is straightforward and commonly used for its simplicity.
Step 1: Set Up Your Git Configuration
Before you can push or pull from a remote repository, you need to set up your Git configuration with your username and email.
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
Step 2: Cloning a Repository
When you clone a repository via HTTPS, you will be prompted to enter your username and password.
git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git
Step 3: Storing Credentials
To avoid entering your credentials every time, you can cache them using the Git credential helper.
git config --global credential.helper cache
