These are instructions for setting up git to authenticate with GitHub when you have 2-factor authentication set up. This authentication should be inherited by any GUI client you are using. These are intentionally brief instructions, with links to more detail in the appropriate places.
-
Download and install the git command-line client (if required).
-
Open the git bash window and introduce yourself to git (if required):
git config --global user.name 'Firstname Lastname' git config --global user.email 'firstname.lastname@gov.bc.ca'
