Authenticating to GitHub on https://coding.csel.io #

This is a one-time process to use the Jupyter sidebar (or gh client) to clone repositories and interact with GitHub.

1. Log in#

Open https://coding.csel.io and select the CSCI-3656/Numerical Computation tile.

2. Open a terminal#

3. Run `gh auth login`#

At the terminal, enter gh auth login and accept defaults for all questions. When it prints an 8-character one-time code, press enter one more time. The session should look like this:

jovyan@jupyter-jeka2967:~$ gh auth login
? What account do you want to log into? GitHub.com
? What is your preferred protocol for Git operations? HTTPS
? How would you like to authenticate GitHub CLI? Login with a web browser

! First copy your one-time code: 54E0-8759
Press Enter to open github.com in your browser...

4. Open https://github.com/login/device #

In a new browser tab, open https://github.com/login/device and enter the 8-character code. If configured, it may also ask for your 2-factor authentication (app on your phone). The browser should say “Congratulations, you’re all set!” and the terminal session should complete.
