I'm new to git and github, so forgive me if this somehow sounds stupid.
After much needless frustration with trying to find a git gui client, I had a major facepalm when I realized that git came with a GUI. Thusly, I ended my search and proceeded to redownload a test repository I made on github.
HOWEVER, after putting in the private repo address and a target folder, I somehow downloaded the repo without a credential prompt of any kind for github. I did make a commit earlier when I was testing things on another client that was buggier than I liked.
Is this normal behavior or a serious bug? Why is github not checking for anything? Did git store my github account details? How do I stop this functionality?
I am terrified...help...
