Hi bambreeze! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

Set Up Your Info

Now that you have Git set up and your SSH keys entered into GitHub, it’s time to configure your personal info.

Set your username and email.

Git tracks who makes each commit by checking the user’s name and email. In addition, we use this info to associate your commits with your GitHub account. To set these, enter the code below, replacing the name and email with your own. The name should be your actual name, not your GitHub username.

config$ git config --global user.name "bambreeze"
config$ git config --global user.email bambreeze@gmail.com

Some tools connect to GitHub without SSH. To use these tools properly you need to find and configure your API Token.

On the GitHub site Click “Account Settings” > Click “Account Admin.”
~$ git config --global github.user bambreeze
~$ git config --global github.token <your_token>
