Hello,
Glad this came up. It is important to talk about. Personally though, I
don't really see this as being an issue. We add key generation and
authentication to the Setup instructions and keep chugging along. I
don't think we explain packaging (CRAN / PyPI / Conda) either so it
shouldn't be very different.

Hi,
I don't know if everyone is aware, but starting on August 13, 2021,
Github is no longer going to accept password authentications:
https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations
This can prove a significant challenge in a teaching environment. I
don't see myself explaining SSH keys or password managers or MFA in
the context of teaching git.
Has anyone given some thoughts on this ?
