Feature Request Google Authenticator Support

Feature Request Google Authenticator Support

[Max Rahm]

Github supports google authenticator 2-step authentication. I enabled it
and how can't figure out how to connect to my github account through git.
I've looked pretty hard in the man pages and on google and can't seem to
find anything on how to set up git to work with a repository with 2-step
verification. Here's a link to my stackoverflow question with my exact
problem if there's something I'm missing.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21447137/git-github-not-working-with-google-authenticator-osx

As far as I can tell the feature is not supported. I'd like to be able to
use the 2-step authentication but obviously I'd like to be able to push my
code :D

Thanks in advance,
Max Rahm

I was under the impression that private key authentication worked
regardless of two-factor authentication. Is using git over ssh an
option for you?

This sounds like a question for the GitHub support rather than the Git
community.

Especially that Git prides itself that it does not do authenthication,
but passes it to appropriate programs, SSH or web server (HTTP).

Own git:// protocol is unathenthicated.

Erik is right, for any GitHub questions, emailing support@github.com
is way better than using this list. The answer to your question,
however, is that you have to use a personal access token:

https://help.github.com/articles/providing-your-2fa-security-code#through-the-command-line

You can generate one from this page, in the "Personal Access Tokens"
section: https://github.com/settings/applications

Thanks!
