Dunno, there's been a lot of noise lately about changes to github's authentication mechanisms, but I haven't been following so don't know what the issues are or how to adapt to resolve them.
guthub stopped supporting direct git connections at least a year ago if not earlier. It is either ssh or https. It has nothing to do with mandatory 2FA.
You can see how often I use github then :) It does seem to be to do with authentication though - https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/caching-your... talks about caching credentials :) But in any case, I wasn't suggesting using github, just commenting on jdd's attempt. There's a webmin.com address I gave.
