GitHub SSH and 2-factor auth
I hate that using SSH & 2-factor auth means I have to auth even for for a git pull. But there’s an easier way! Change the remote used for fetch to the HTTPS url.
First, verify that both push/fetch are using SSH by running git remote -v
it should output something like:
origin git@github.com:petele/squoosh.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:petele/squoosh.git (push)Then use git remote set-url origin <https url> to set the remote URL for
fetch to the HTTPS url. Your repo will now push via SSH and pull via HTTPS,
and it won’t require the extra 2-factor auth to pull.
Now, after running git remote -v I get…
origin https://github.com/petele/squoosh.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:petele/squoosh.git (push)
