Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Password-based authentication for Git is deprecated, and we recommend using a personal access token (PAT) when prompted for a password instead, which is more secure. Treat your token just like a password. For more information, see "Creating a personal access token."
Updating your credentials via Keychain Access
- In Finder, search for the Keychain Access app.
- In Keychain Access, search for github.com.
- Find the "internet password" entry for
github.com.
- Edit or delete the entry accordingly.
Deleting your credentials via the command line
Through the command line, you can use the credential helper directly to erase the keychain entry.
To do this, type the following command:
$ git credential-osxkeychain erase
host=github.com
protocol=https
> [Press Return]If it's successful, nothing will print out. To test that it works, try and clone a repository from GitHub. If you are prompted for a password, the keychain entry was deleted.
