Body

Hello, (I am French and I don't know well English sorry)
The last month, I created personal access token in GitHub to push my local git in my GitHub repository with the terminal (macOS). Now the key has expired and I generate new personal access token. The problem is in the terminal, I push my git and he say "Invalid username or password." and he doesn't ask me for my new key. What is the commande line to enter the new key ?
Thanks :)

Hello @Kravatox

If you have generated a new personal access token for GitHub and want to update it in your terminal to push your Git changes, you can update the stored credentials using the following command:

git credential-osxkeychain erase host=github.com protocol=https

This command will remove the existing credentials stored in the Keychain Access on macOS. After running this command, the next time you push your Git changes, it should prompt you for the new username (your GitHub username) and password (the new personal access token).

Alternatively, you can also update the remote URL of your Git repository to include the new personal access token directly. To do this, use the following command:

git remote set-url origin https://USERNAME:TOKEN@github.com/USERNAME/REPO.git

Replace USERNAME with your GitHub username and TOKEN with your new personal access token. This command will update the remote URL to include the new access token, allowing you to push your Git changes without being prompted for credentials.

After executing either of these commands, try pushing your Git changes again, and it should use the new personal access token for authentication. Thank you.
