#  Github will soon start two-factor authentification for use from a terminal. 
#  After setting up 2FA, the old username/passward will fail when you run git push, etc.
#  Then you have to set up a token on your github_account/Settings/Developer_Settings/Personal_access_tokens
#  After setting the token, save it, then use that as the password when running git push, etc.
