When you connect to a GitHub repository from Git, you will need to authenticate with GitHub using either GitHub HTTPS or GitHub SSH.

Note: You can authenticate to GitHub using GitHub CLI, for either HTTP or SSH. For more information, see gh auth login.

If you git clone with HTTPS, you can cache your GitHub credentials in Git using a credential helper. For more information, see “Cloning with HTTPS urls” (https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/about-remote-repositories/#cloning-with-https-urls) and “Caching your GitHub credentials in Git (https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/caching-your-github-credentials-in-git).”

If you git clone with SSH, you must generate SSH keys on each computer you use to git push to GitHub or git pull from GitHub. For more information, see “Cloning with SSH urls” (https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/about-remote-repositories/#cloning-with-ssh-urls) and “Generating a new SSH key. (https://docs.github.com/en/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent)”
