[x] Make sure that git is installed and working
[x] Install the Github CLI tools (gh)
[x] Make sure that authentication is working (see https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_auth)
[x] Test doing a push from Roberto's machine to the remote repository on Github

We are still having some problems with the authentication. We had to paste the token in by hand when we did git push, but at least it worked

Last thing to do:

[ ] Set up Roberto's machine so he does not have to manually type in his user name and authentication token

I have found two potential solutions:

(Simple but possibly insecure) Store the credentials on disk using git config --global credential.helper store
(Seems very complicated). Install Git Credential Manager

I think that this is mainly working now, so I will close it. If you still have any problems with this @RobeReyes, please reopen this issue
