Github Plain authentication via git is going EOL 2021-08
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Submit50 currently uses standard password authentication with the git CLI, which is going EOL in the coming year. I didn't already see an issue for this but since this program is used by all CS50 courses I figured it'd be something you guys should be tracking if you weren't already.

It says August 2021 which is a ways off but still it's best to put it on the board now instead of waiting till later so that as many people as can can utilize it. Since I believe you also use submit50 from within your CS50 IDE so that environment would also have to be updated also with this new change.
I'm surprised that this issue is still unacknowledged as of yet. It's less than 1 month and this utility will no longer work.
Any update on this? Seems like impending doom is coming.
Not to worry, there'll be updated instructions next week!
