Git password authentication is shutting down
I&#x27;m fine with this change for my usage, I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve used password auth for myself or any automated service I&#x27;ve setup for years now. However, this will introduce more confusion for newcomers who already have to figure out what Git, GitHub, etc are. I just spent some time last weeekend teaching someone the basics of how to create a new project. Such a simple idea required introducing the terminal, basic terminal commands, GitHub, git and its most common commands. It took about 3 hours for us to get through just the most basic pieces. Adding on ssh-keygen, key management adds even more friction.<p>It&#x27;s certainly a difficult problem. How can we offer a more gentle learning curve for budding developers while still requiring &quot;real&quot; projects to use best practices for security and development?
