Apart from changing to SSH, you can also keep using HTTPS, if you don't mind to put your password in clear text. Put this in your ~/.netrc and it won't ask for your username/password (at least on Linux and Mac)
Make one .netrc file in your home directory.
machine github.com
login <user>
password <password

What do you mean by don't mind putting password in clear text? Do you mean netrc uses cleartext? – CyberMew Dec 02 '20 at 02:34
