If Git prompts you for a username and password every time you try to interact with GitHub, you're probably using the HTTPS clone URL for your repository.

If you're cloning GitHub repositories using HTTPS, I recommend you use GitHub CLI or Git Credential Manager (GCM) to remember your credentials.

GitHub CLI

GitHub CLI will automatically store your Git credentials for you when you choose HTTPS as your preferred protocol for Git operations and answer "yes" to the prompt asking if you would like to authenticate to Git with your GitHub credentials.

  1. Install Github CLI
  2. In the command line, enter gh auth login, then follow the prompts. When prompted for your preferred protocol for Git operations, select HTTPS. When asked if you would like to authenticate to Git with your GitHub credentials, enter Y.
