Just created a new repo and I received an email that stated:
"Basic authentication using a password to Git is deprecated and will soon no longer work."
Ok, I've been through this and I've created a token and uploaded it to my GitHub account, but after that I'm 100% unsure how to use the token to login.
Question
Can someone reply and let me know the steps on how to login via command-line and token to GitHub?
Or, can someone point me to the steps?
Here's the totally confusing document the GitHub team provides.
EDIT -- Additional Info
I just found the following on StackOverflow and I'm reading it now.

Are you sure you need a PAT instead of a SSH key?
For the SSH key tutorial please see docs.github.com/en/github/authenti...
I finally figured it out and wrote it up : stackoverflow.com/questions/189355...
It was really confusing but your mention of a PAT is really what helped me understand. Thanks
Thanks I'll check it out.
