set_github_pat

Populates the <code>GITHUB_PAT</code> environment variable using the git_credential
manager, which <code>git</code> itself uses for storing passwords. The credential manager
returns stored credentials if available, and securely prompt the user for
credentials when needed.

Setup and retrieve HTTPS and SSH credentials for use with 'git' and
other services. For HTTPS remotes the package interfaces the 'git-credential'
utility which 'git' uses to store HTTP usernames and passwords. For SSH
remotes we provide convenient functions to find or generate appropriate SSH
keys. The package both helps the user to setup a local git installation, and
also provides a back-end for git/ssh client libraries to authenticate with
existing user credentials.
