Description
git-token-auth is a lightweight, zero-dependency Git credential helper built for shared dev environments (VMs, jump hosts). It removes the redundant 'Username' prompt during HTTPS authentication, asking exclusively for your Personal Access Token (PAT). Zero disk persistence, seamless CLI setup, and accurate audit trails.
