Great stuff and thanks for the auth technique with github! My only remaining question is "is this the best an safest way to do auth?

[funkykong]

Would be good to also describe where the token is saved by git under the hood.

[levperla]

Also tried to manage this not so long ago =)

Are there any principal differences between using SSH keys and Access Tokens?

[erikw]

Storing the token in a text file and in the git config is insecure, if the device becomes compromised you've given away access to your repositories

Please also tell users how to properly store these tokens by encrypting them and using a credentials store manager.

hey NeuralNine please make a video on Github LFS, everytime I try to upload a model over 120 mb it gets so painful, each time it says that I have already surpass the quota of the allocated LFS for the month, even though i haven't use it for months
