Tip, using git push -u origin HEAD automates the command to use whichever local branch you're currently in. Also yeah, it's what the error says. For developers, if you are using a password to authenticate Git operations with GitHub.com today, you must begin using a personal access token over HTTPS (recommended) or SSH key by August 13, 2021, to avoid disruption. If you receive a warning that you are using an outdated third-party integration, you should update your client to the latest version. You need to create and use a PAT as stated and linked in the article.

I'm a developer. I am trying to do a git push for the first time in several years and am curious to see if this is going to be a blocker for me.

Thanks! The date was helpful.

@codewizard13 in reference to the default branch name change, it remains a controversial topic, but here is a fairly unopinionated synopsis.

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Tried many other suggestions before this one. Thanks again.
