Using an Access Token for the first time

Follow the instructions on Github to Create an Access Token in Github

Configure Git to use the osxkeychain

By default, git credentials are not cached so you need to tell Git if you want to avoid having to provide them each time Github requires you to authenticate. On Mac, Git comes with an “osxkeychain” mode, which caches credentials in the secure keychain that’s attached to your system account.

You can tell Git you want to store credentials in the osxkeychain by running the following:-

1. Clone the repo.
2. Use git rebase -i --root
3. vim will open. Select the commits you want to modify by changing pick to edit. If you would like to change all the commits, enable line numbers with set nu and perform the following replace: :1,Ns/pick/edit/g (where N is the line number of the last line)
4. You will now be shown all the selected commits one by one. Each commit message will be displayed. You have two options:
   • If you would like to keep the commit author details the same, do a git rebase --continue.
   • If you would like to change it to a different name/email, do git commit --amend --reset-author. If --reset-author is specified, it will use the details from your git config. (If you need to specify an alternate name/email, you can do so with --author="John Doe <john@example.com>". If you would like to change the time to a previous date, you can do so with --date "2 days ago".)
5. Do the same for all the commits and finish the rebase.
6. Perform `git push -f origin ma
