+ [2015-05-21T17:00:49Z] mehwork but it seems like i should just be able to create an authorization based on my clientid/secret just the same as you described
+ [2015-05-21T17:18:31Z] Seveas mehwork: it is oauth, I was wrong.
+ [2015-05-21T17:20:42Z] mehwork np, thanks for clarifing
+ [2015-05-21T17:21:00Z] mehwork it all makes sense now it hink
+ [2015-05-21T17:21:57Z] mehwork i think i need to have my employer run the curl command to do basic auth to generate an auth token for me, since using the client id/secret doesn't seem to work (although you'd think either one would work)

how come when i register a new OAuth application from https://github.com/settings/applications/new it doesn't give me any option to select the scopes for the oauth key like the Personal access token generator does?
+ [2015-05-22T02:11:33Z] grepper I just did a new release using the web interface, and tags v0.35.2 (and tovid-0.35.2) but "git describe" in master still shows 0.35.0-55-g93b5ffc . Shouldn't it describe the # of commits since 0.35.2 ?
+ [2015-05-22T02:33:52Z] grepper Do I need to make it an 'annotated' tag?
+ [2015-05-22T03:36:52Z] foxxx_ how do I delete all the files in my master branch?
+ [2015-05-22T03:52:56Z] arussel I'm trying to do a push from a script. Does git try to read some environment variable for auth ?
+ [2015-05-22T04:33:26Z] Seveas foxxx_: git checkout master; git rm -r --cached . (if you also want to delete files from disk, omit the --cached); git commit
