This has been happening for a little while now but when I commit my project to github, node-red asks for my loginId/password combo. I have been receiving an email from github that they method of authenticating will be deprecated in mid august.

Are there a set of instructions on how to set this new authentication relationship up between node-red projects and github?

Thanks

Joe

Hi @jmorris644

Create a Personal Access Token in your Github Account, as described here: [Creating a personal access token - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token)

You then use that token instead of your password when NR prompts you for your GitHub credentials.
