Configure GitHub token with gnome-keyring

gnome-credential-helper-git.md

1. git --version

git version 2.17.1

2. sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-0 libsecret-1-dev
3. cd /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret
4. sudo make
5. git config --global credential.helper /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret
6. Next time Git asked for GitHub's username an password, just write your username and paste your token and they'll be stored in your keyring.
