I spent an hour trying to make it work searching, then i found this video - thank you for making this video. the personal access token was a game changer. such a concise, well-made video

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

thank you for the kind words!

[@calvaguzmanalanalexis9084]

I was just sick of having to log in every time I wanted to git push. Thank you very much, you are an awesome master and made my life so easier.

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

Glad I could help

[@theBATfamiliar]

This was awesome, thank you so much, I'm learning Java and I use my personal pc and my work pc, so using a GitHub repo saves me a lot of time as the code is centralized and I only need to updated it and push as I change machines :)

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

Awesome! You are starting an exciting journey as a software developer.

fabulous explanation sir
👌👌

Thanks and welcome

[@user-vo4jm5hf5i]

Very helpful - thank you. It would make things easier to follow if you didn't clear the screen so quickly after every command.

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

Thanks for the tip! I was trying to make it easier for me on the video editing later when it came to obscuring certain details, but, yeah, definitely I will see what I can do.

[@egorolender2577]

Cool trick, ive got a question though. when you use vim in gitbash, how did it work if you typed vi and not vim?

[@nickgame98]

Thank you very much Mike

It was helpul to start with, thanks!
My question is- If I am having my own repository in github and I have added it to my remote origin then is there any need to have a remote upstream URL?

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

You can probably omit the first remote upstream URL as long as you set the remote upstream url with the user and userkey it should be fine!

[@lahoriyefoodsecrets]

Thanks Sir ..

thank you!

Vs code can help you connect with git without generating the acces token

[@daefin9993]

when using git push origin main, i get these errors: remote: Permission to REPOSITORY.git denied to USER.
fatal: unable to access 'REPOSITORY': The requested URL returned error: 403. censoring repo and user

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

It sounds like authentication errors. You might want to check when you set the "git remote set-url origin :@github.com//.git"

git push -u origin main
fatal: protocol 'https' is not supported (What's the error), Please tell me

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

Sorry for the delayed response. You have a couple of options like removing the "origin" alias 'git remote remove origin' and then re-adding again: 'git remote add origin github.com/YourUsername/YourRepo.git'
Alternatively, this might be an issue with your git installation. You could remove the git installation on your OS and reinstalling. I would try the first step and if that doesn't work then reinstall git.

[@vincentchimdi6812]

still doesn't work for me... I followed your steps, was still prompted to input username and password when it was time to push, tried both password and token key, both failed

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

Hi Vince, I am sorry to hear you are still having problems getting this working.

how to set multiple account with this

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

sorry for the delay in the response. I am not sure off the top of my head.

[@yourlinuxguy]

Well, This was nice and all but, you could have kept the video very short.

[@cwm-codingwithmike]

yeah, this is a challenge in trying to design a video that captures all the details. The balance between too much and not enough. Thanks for the comments.
