How to setup git-credential-netrc with encrypted .netrc credentials

Warning

This tutorial is outdated! I do not recommend using this method anymore, as there are better tools now.

For better alternatives, try out:

Git credential storage with git-credential-netrc

Using GitHub with SAML SSO integration often adds some hurdles to command-line authentication.
