There was a time when GitHub suddenly stopped supporting authentication using ID and password. Since then, I've had to configure related settings multiple times, but I always forget how I did it and have to look it up again. Now I need to set it up once more, and this time, I'm going to write a post about it so I don't forget.
Personal Access Token
PAT is alternative to password.
It doesn't grant access to the entire account, and it's safer because it has an expiration date and allows access only to the configured permissions. Unless you didn't include all permissions and infinite expiration date.
