Hello,

Recently the port selfupdate command has been prompting me to provide a GitHub username and password. I’m not sure why it started doing this, or why it’s necessary at all. This is new behavior to me. Is this supposed to happen? Can it be avoided?

If I need to provide any other information please let me know.
