Create an account at github.com if you have none, turn on two-factor authentication and let your machine push to it: run gh auth login after installing the GitHub CLI (brew install gh or the installer from cli.github.com), or add an SSH key under Settings, SSH and GPG keys. Check with gh auth status or ssh -T git@github.com.
