We're almost done (smile).

At this point all our account accounts are setup and configured and there is only one thing left to do: we need to create a personal Personal Access Token on GitHub account, that is required for the login while operating with repositories.

Most of the Git service providers nowdays (like GitHub, BitBucket,...) to improve security, do not support anymore the possibility to authenticate with personal account password over https, while performing operations on online repositories: instead they require a Personal Access Token (PAT), that is a complex string generated by the Git provider, with associated roles and scopes that basically maps and limits the operations you can perform on an online repository with it.Personal Access Tokens have a limited time in which are valid (you can choose it while creating it) and once it has expired you will have to create a new one!

Follow the GitHub documentation to generate a PAT.
