For the repo which is cloned from GitHub using HTTPS, use a credential helper to remember username and password.

With Git for Windows, run the following commands to store credentials:

1
git config --global credential.helper wincred

SSH

For the repo which is cloned from GitHub using SSH, use SSH keys. -> Generating an SSH Key
