Hi Spencer,
Did you follow the instructions here? https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh Once the key is setup, you should be able to do "git clone g...@github.com:JamesRamsay5/fda.git", without any need to input a token or a password in the command. Similarly, git push/pull/fetch should all work seamlessly. This is how I've used Github for many years, and it's always worked fine. Best, Max Connecting to GitHub with SSH - GitHub Help<https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh> help.github.com You can connect to GitHub using SSH.

I've been able to do "git clone https://sbgraves237:<GitHub-password>@github.com/JamesRamsay5/fda", then change a file, do "git commit" and "git push". However, this has my GitHub password in a plain text ".git" file on my hard drive. I think the hard drive on my computer is encrypted, so maybe that's not a problem. Am I not allowed to use SSH with a GitHub repository that's not my own? Thanks, Spencer Graves p.s. Since my previous email, Ramsay added "README.md" to that repository. I can do "git clone" and get it, then edit it, then "git commit". However, "git push" keeps giving me errors: git push remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://<token>@github.com/JamesRamsay5/fda/' A few hours ago, the owner, JamesRamsay5, went to "Settings" > "Manage access", then invited me as a collaborator. I got an email asking me to "view invitation", which I did. I got another email saying, "Hey there, we�re just writing to let you know that you�ve been automatically subscribed to a repository on GitHub." Sadly, I still couldn't access it, so I I deleted my token and created a new one. I also deleted my previous local clone of "fda" and recreated it using "git clone https://<token>@github.com/JamesRamsay5/fda". Then I did a test edit to the one file in that repository, README.md. I think did 'git commit README.md -m "tst edit"'. Then "git push" keeps giving me the error just mentioned. > sessionInfo() R version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit) Running under: macOS Catalina 10.15.4 Matrix products: default BLAS: /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libBLAS.dylib LAPACK: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/lib/libRlapack.dylib locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets [6] methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_3.6.3 tools_3.6.3 On 2020-03-14 02:33, Spencer Graves wrote: > Thanks very much. > > > I deleted my token.
