Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can't push to github without an account. That's how github can validate that you have the rights to push. If that is a problem, host your own gitea instance.

Once you have an account, the way to do it is using ssh keys. Use ssh-keygen (or putty keygen) to generate a key pair, add the public key to your account, and the set up ~/.ssh/config.

Don't push.

Don’t push.

yes, removing push code resolved the issue

If the repo is private you'd need to set up ssh keys with an account to pull, but pulling from public can be done anonymously

Clone over HTTPS, not git.
