Hate this token, makes everything more dificult

[@aldolucchi1748]

Me too!

[@FrancoisSchnell]

I dislike it too. Noticed vscode doesn't need tokens and accept login:pass

[@Darkev77]

Wow, I was searching about this topic just yesterday and now you posted this!!

[@sanfords]

Great stuff and thanks for the auth technique with github! My only remaining question is "is this the best an safest way to do auth?

[@zajlord2930]

this is literally what i needed a week ago...

[@interpro]

Thank you! Simple and to the point!

[@drift-x4q]

Thank You simple and great explanation, saved my life

[@erikw137]

Storing the token in a text file and in the git config is insecure, if the device becomes compromised you've given away access to your repositories

[@angelp9239]

what do you suggest? For example i have an obsidian and everytime i want to backup it tells me to put my credential but i can do it automatically like the video. Any suggest?

[@erikw137]

@@angelp9239 Git Credential Manager solves this, you can also use a general use secrets management tool like Hashicorp Vault

[@levperla]

Also tried to manage this not so long ago =)
Are there any principal differences between using SSH keys and Access Tokens?

[@InsertNameHere.1719]

All the more reason why I love Kali

[@AlexisKaraboChabane]

hey NeuralNine please make a video on Github LFS, everytime I try to upload a model over 120 mb it gets so painful ,each time it says that I have already surpass the quota of the allocated LFS for the month, even though i haven't use it for months

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]

Share your pain Mr Chattopadhyay.

woah nice yummy token, it would be a shame if I use it on my own computer

[@CodeWithArpitTech]

hello

[@yaarooruvan4310]

Mine expires tomorrow 😂

[@ryanranger7776]

Neural Nine, Your Awesome. Thank you very much . No BS right to the point.

[@djairvinicius]

Obrigado ajudou muito, todos os tutoriais antes desse não funcionava

[@shahnawaz_0651]

Do you really need to create a new token for every new repository you create?

[@funkykong9001]

Would be good to also describe where the token is saved by git under the hood.

[@b1-rogr470]

Thnaks a lot, very useful.

[@ahmedhussainkhan3080]

thanks bro

[@nihalxkumar]

thanks boss

[@syedazeemjaved]

Please also tell users how to properly store these tokens by encrypting them and using a credentials store manager.

[@aondasuave2914]

[@EndWokenessAtAllCost]
