Git will sometimes need credentials from the user in order to perform
operations; for example, it may need to ask for a username and password

the mechanisms Git uses to request these credentials, as well as some
features to avoid inputting these credentials repeatedly.

a personal access token or OAuth access token as a password. This
manual describes the mechanisms Git uses to request these credentials,
as well as some features to avoid inputting these credentials repeatedly.
