New GitHub authorization process is crippling worcs #112

Closed cjvanlissa closed 3 years ago

cjvanlissa commented 3 years ago

I taught worcs to a group of masters' students today, and most report receiving log-in pop up windows in RStudio for every commit. This is probably related to the recent change to GitHub's authorization procedures. Any ideas on how we can address this? I'm still investigating, maybe someone knows.

Relatedly: We now recommend users copy the https address, but I believe that this circumvents the use of the SSH protocol. Does anyone know? Maybe we should recommend people use the SSH address?

OK problem debugged: It's the HTTPS authentication that has been changed. But since we already instruct users to set up the SSH key, we can circumvent any problems if we recommend people use the SSH address when connecting to GitHub.

I'm making this change in the documentation; if anyone finds a place where we missed this, do let me know!
