Note: Using passwords to authenticate Git operations with Github.com will soon be deprecated as shown here: Token Authentication Required

If you have already performed git clone with https, you will need to set up a token to be able to push any changes to our repo and you will need to enter this token in replacement of your password each time you push.

Alternatively, you can set up an ssh key to link it with your account so you don't have to re-enter you username and token each time you want to push. To learn how to add an ssh key you can run the commands in this tutorial within your VM: Add an SSH Key. Then, make sure to link it to your Github account. Also, if you have already performed git clone with https, you will need to switch to ssh by performing the command below. If you don't, you will constantly be prompted for your user/token still even if you've already added your ssh key and linked it to your Github account.

# Make sure you are in the git repo
cd firmware_xiv

# Switch from https to ssh
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:uw-midsun/firmware_xiv.git
