github phasing out password authentication for commits

While making some command-line commits to github, I'd received an email from github that password-based authentication is deprecated, and would be unavailable after Aug 2021. Github docs also mention that pw auth is deprecated. This stackoverflow post also discusses the change, and its advantages. So, basically we need to create the password token, give it suitable permissions and use that instead of the password on the commandline.
