🤬🤬🤬 Who else was screwed over for a few hours by Github's recent change to switch from username+password to personal access token for auth (when using Git to remote push in terminal)? So many error messages that led to nowhere and lots and lots of pointless searching dammit...only to discover a quiet little email from Github saying it's been depreciated
Solution (for Macs):
-- Create a personal access token in your Github account
-- Open Keychain Access in your Mac, find github item in the table, change the password to the PAT
-- go back to VSCode or terminal to remote push and voila!
