git with ssh instead of https
If 2fa is enabled on github switch to ssh instead of https on linux
1. generate an ssh keypair on your linux box
ssh-keygen -t {rsa|dsa}
2. add the public key to github: profile - settings - ssh keys
3. switch from https to ssh
Check your repo remote:
git remote -v
should show:
origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (push)
Change the remote:
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:USERNAME/OTHERREPOSITORY.git
verify:
git remote -v
should show:
origin git@github.com:USERNAME/OTHERREPOSITORY.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:USERNAME/OTHERREPOSITORY.git (push)
