Why the Grief with GitHub?
Things change fast. There was a time I was using personal access tokens.. Now, they want you to use SSH tokens. You follow the guide and it doesn't work - you're still prompted for username and password and then told fatal, authentication failed - AFTER you'd created and added the SSH token. Why? Because you started off on the wrong foot. Assuming, like me, you wanted to make a local folder available to the world and created a new repo on GitHub and then tried to push it following the helpful notes on the very first page after you create, you used the HTTPS notes - so the URL is https rather than git@github.com:USERNAME/REPO.git :) Look closely and you'll see a toggle option to switch to SSH and get the notes for that 😊 Dashboard camera style recording with LICEcap
