How do I add an account github? I have a username and password. I get an error.

IIRC Github has required use of public key authentication for quite some time. See: Authentication (index of help topics) Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent Adding a new SSH key to your GitHub account

personally, I created a personal token on Github and I use it in the password field. I granted most essential permissions and it works great, no need for SSH keys
