How to deal with github's 2FA when you're forced to use https instead of ssh
Raw
README.md

Generate the access token on github https://github.com/settings/tokens (repo level is enough to get push and pull working) Then create a .netrc file in your home dir like so:

    machine github.com
    login your_github_username
    password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Replace password with the token. Ta-da! Boom! ps. Windows doesn't like the filename .netrc so you have to call it _netrc
