I was building a website locally when I wanted to put it in a GitHub repository
I Created a git repository, I was in the process of cloning it to my device
quick note its been some years since Ive used git
Ran the command
" git clone "
I saw in finder that it created a new folder for the repo - however I was unaware that there were additional prompts for authentication
I move the website files from my local folder to the repo folder that was just created
I go back to my terminal to commit when I see additional prompts for authentication
I enter my user name and password when I receive the following prompt
" remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. remote: Please see https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories#cloning-with-https-urls for information on currently recommended modes of authentication. fatal: Authentication failed for "
It then deletes the folder it made and all of the files of the website that I had just dragged into there
Now I see the error of my ways - but am a tad bit frustrated and am hoping I don't have to rebuild. any help would be greatly appreciated
- command Z did not revert anything
- nothing is in my trash bin
