Question

Reconfig an existing site to use Git token rather than password?

Hi - Like many who use GitHub I got the email that password access will soon be deprecated and we need to switch to token authentication. Fine, so I went into GitHub and created my token.

But how can I make this change to my site in Dreamweaver? When I go into Manage Sites and select the site, the whole Git section is grayed out, with no apparent way to update my authentication.

    Hi @briandunning ,

     

    Thanks for writing to us. Please see if you can update the Git remote authentication by invoking Git panel from Window menu. Within Git panel, please click on "Create Remote" button and set the authentication details.

     

     

    Please let us know if the above resolves the issue else we will further investigate the same.

     

    Have a pleasant day!

     

    Regards,

    Thank you Nayan. In the Git panel, I was unable to find a "Create remote" button.

    Same problem here - no 'create' button. Which DW version did that arrive with?
