How to change account password in git

In version management tools such as Github or Gitlab, we usually use git for code management. When using git, we need to enter a username and password to authenticate our identity to access the repository. But when our passwords are stolen or we need to use different passwords across multiple devices, we need to change our account passwords. Below I will introduce to you how to change the account password in git.

1. Change the Github account password

1. First log in to the Github website and enter the personal account page.

2. Click the "Security" tab on the left side of the page, and then click the "Change password" button.

When using git to access the warehouse, we need to write the username and password into the Git configuration file. If we change the account password, we must change the password in the configuration file, otherwise we will not be able to access the warehouse.

git config --global --edit
