Recommendations on how to authenticate in Github about escience-2022

I would recommend using the method established by 2i2c: https://docs.2i2c.org/en/latest/data/git.html. This uses @yuvipanda's gh-scoped-creds.

@fairyeszhuo the problem with that would be that any JupyterHub admin now can have full access to your GitHub, and that is a big security issue unfortunately.

@annefou , sorry to bother! But do you have any brilliant advice here? Last time I recall I thought it was a bit tidious with the tokens etc!

I think it's nice to use at a terminal "gh auto login", to connect github directly.

Great to know, I'll try this 2i2c suggested by rabernat.
