title: How can I get Visual Studio (Mac) to meet GitHub Token Authentication requirements?
body: <p>I recently committed to GitHub using Visual Studio for Mac (8.10.6) and got an email:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>You recently used a password to access the repository at
   with git using git/2.24.3 (Apple Git-128).</p>
  <p>Basic authentication using a password to Git is deprecated and will
  soon no longer work. Visit

  for more information around suggested workarounds and removal dates.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I've read that blog post but I cannot see how to make this change for VS. I note that it mentioned <code>git/2.24.3</code> but from the command-line I see:</p>
  <pre><code>$ git --version
  git version 2.10.0
  $ which git
  /usr/local/bin/git
  </code></pre>
  <p><strong>Update</strong>
  On a new machine, I am indeed prompted for login details and can use a PAT. But I would still love to know where this is stored on disk, or in VS settings, in case I need to <em>change</em> Git user.</p>
