2021/01/how-to-force-git-to-prompt-you-for-a-password/

A fun git challenge! I had to make a request against a remote repository in git. The only issue is that only a shared GitHub account had access, not my own account (due to a vendor limitation). So when I occasionally needed to use this remote, I would have to log out and log in as the service account. It just seemed a bit messy.

Thank you, I was looking for something like this because I had to push to Umbraco Cloud and it was just saying auth failed.
