git fork directions need to be updated

[duckunix]

Hello!
I recently found these tools. Thank you! They are awesome.

I was playing with git fork, and the directions need to be updated, I think.

I am using git-extras-git 6.2.0.r13.g206fe7c-1 under ArchLinux. When running git fork git@github.com:user/repo, it asks for my username and then Enter github password for user "<user>". The problem is, it seems the API has been updated to not take plain username/passwords, but now wants username/token. Information on the GitHub REST-API Access has the details.

My question is, how would you like the fix? A diff here, or a PR? The changes would be in updating the command to ask for the token and not ask for the TFA token any more.

Thanks!

A PR would be great @duckunix!

I'd like to point out though that you should try https://github.com/cli/cli (gh), the official GitHub CLI. It has lots of cool GitHub integration functionality including forking, and you can do that like this:

gh repo fork user/repo

Well, if that is the route, then git-fork should be removed. I will send a PR to fix it, however.

Forgot to update, PR #928 s opened.

Guess this needs to be closed since the PR was merged.
