You need to either upload your SSH public key to your account, and then use SSH for your connection to GitHub; or, create a personal access token which you will use in place of your password.

To create a PAT, go to Settings > Developer Settings > Personal access tokens, and create one with the permissions you need. Copy the token somewhere safe, and enter it instead of your password when you are prompted by the command line.
