I think the correct way for GitHub access is to use PAT:

https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token

You have to login to web pages and generate a PAT, then
use it instead of password for the https address.

I have.  But doing

git clone https://github.com/fricas/fricas

gives read-only copy.  IIRC has to do use

[email protected]:fricas/fricas

At least for some operations using https address
leads to password prompt that does not work.
For best "security" error messages are non-informative,
so it was not clear what is wrong.  My first suspicion
was that instruction was wrong (there is a _lot_ of
wrong stuff on the net).  But later I realised
another thing did not work with https address, so
probably I used https address and merge did not
work due to https address.
