When I am using the git CLI client on my linux to push to repositories on github, when it asks me for the credentials verification that is for username and password. I normally use PAT(personal access token) for the password. No matter what username I enter in the CLI as long as I enter the correct PAT , I can make changes to the repo though the changes are made from my original account i.e the account " git config user.name " with which the CLI is registered. This took me to a conclusion that the username field is not validated. Suggestion: Either the username field should be removed or it should be validated. I am attaching some screenshots for reference. Thanks! Regards. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
