title: How to use https for authentication from EGit to GitHub
body: <p>I am trying to setup EGit to work with GitHub with https authentication, instead of the default ssh.  (My reason is that I am a teacher, and some of my students do their work from different machines, so it's not convenient to rely on ssh keys stored on disk.)  Has anyone gotten this to work?  When I try doing a "Push to Upstream" using https, I get the unhelpful error message "An internal Exception occured during push: <a href="https://espertus@github.com/MillsCollegeMobileAppDev2011/test.git" rel="nofollow">https://espertus@github.com/MillsCollegeMobileAppDev2011/test.git</a>: not authorized".</p>
  
  <p>I am using Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios) with versions 0.11.3 of Eclipse EGit (Incubation), Eclipse EGit - Source (Incubation), and EGit Mylyn (Incubation).  My Destination Git Repository settings are:</p>

  <li>URI: <a href="https://espertus@github.com/MillsCollegeMobileAppDev2011/test.git" rel="nofollow">https://espertus@github.com/MillsCollegeMobileAppDev2011/test.git</a></li>
