I got the following email from Github after pushing changes from node red. Is there an update that I missed?

```auto
Hi @MyInfo,

You recently used a password to access the repository at MyInfo/NodeRed with git using git/[2.20.1.](http://2.20.0.1/)

Basic authentication using a password to Git is deprecated and will soon no longer work. Visit https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information around suggested workarounds and removal dates.

Thanks,
The GitHub Team

```

I think the article linked to in that message explains it all.

You are currently using your GitHub username and password to access GitHub in Node-RED. You need to create a Personal Access Token in GitHub and use that in place of your main password.
