Final answer:
To log into GitHub from the terminal in Windows, set your username and email with Git command-line tools, and use a password or personal access token when prompted, especially with two-factor authentication enabled.
Step-by-step explanation:
To log into GitHub from a terminal on Windows, you need to use Git and the command line. Before logging in, you must have Git installed on your system. If Git is already installed, you can login to GitHub using the following steps:
Open your terminal in Windows.
Type the command git config --global user.name "your_username" to set your GitHub username.
Set your GitHub email with the command git config --global user.email "your_emaildomain.com".
When you perform an action that requires authentication, such as pushing commits to a repository, you'll be prompted for your GitHub password or personal access token.
If you have two-factor authentication enabled on your GitHub account, you will need to generate a personal access token and use it instead of your GitHub password when prompted. Always ensure that your credentials are kept secure and are not shared with others.
