Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built git-token-auth to solve a daily friction point when working in shared development environments like VMs or jump hosts. Since GitHub deprecated password authentication, standard Git HTTPS prompts require entering a username—even though GitHub ignores it when you provide a valid Personal Access Token (PAT). Typing "a" or a dummy username before pasting a token every time gets annoying fast. Plus, storing global credentials in shared environments is a security risk. git-token-auth is a zero-dependency CLI credential helper that overrides local repository settings to prompt ONLY for your PAT. Key features: • Single-prompt authentication (only asks for PAT) • Zero disk persistence (tokens exist only in memory during execution) • Accurate audit trails per developer • Simple one-line repo setup (`git-token-auth init`) It’s completely open-source. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions! 🚀
