At the risk of stating what you may already know, you don't have to create a separate ssh key. It's certainly not a bad idea to use different keys for different systems, but it's not a requirement. > I am guessing that in: > > /home/rgm/data/htt/Projects/Critical/drafts/draft-ietf-drip-rid/.git > > > I change > > [remote "origin"] > url = https://github.com/ietf-wg-drip/draft-ietf-drip-rid > fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* > > to use ssh: rather than https: The easier way (I think) is to use the git remote command to change the URL. It's not just a search https and replace with ssh, so you'll want to take the URL from the GitHub web interface. It'll typically be something like this: git@xxxxxxxxxx:ietf-wg-drip/draft-ietf-drip-rid.git To update that from the command line, you'd run: git remote set-url origin git@xxxxxxxxxx:ietf-wg-drip/draft-ietf-drip-rid.git I'd second Jonathan and suggest that ssh is the simpler way to go, but it should be possible to use the "personal access tokens" with the git from Fedora 32 (that was 2.26.3, IIRC). The PAT is essentially just a password, so it ought to work the same way as before. You can make the storage of such logins pretty painless using a git credential helper. On Fedora, the libsecret helper should work with both Gnome and KDE (and others if they support the "Secret Service" API). This is in the git-credential-libsecret package. With that installed, you should be able to enable it via: git config credential.helper libsecret That will enable it for the current repository. (You can enable it globally by adding --global after git config.) Then you should be prompted for the username and password on the next operation which requires it. You'd use the PAT in the password field and it should be stored in the Gnome Keyring, KDE Wallet, or similar. Having to type that out is one more reason I prefer using ssh keys. They're simpler to manage and useful in more places. HTH, and good luck on the overdue upgrade. :) -- Todd
