password not saved #111

Hi, thanks for making this program for Raspberry Pi. Whenever I push a commit, it asks me for my github user name and password. I wish it would save this information so I don't have to keep typing it in. Especially the password, since github requires a personal access token, which is long and impossible to memorize and type each time. I have to keep it stored in a local text file to copy/paste every time.

I think you will need to set up your git first for this.

Run git config --global credential.helper store && git pull in your Git repository. It will ask you for your credentials one last time. After that, you won't see it ever again.

Thanks, that worked. But for people that don't know the command-line tricks of git, it would be nice to have this as an option in Guitar. I mean, that's the reason I use GUI interfaces for git, because I don't want to deal with all the command-line stuff directly.
