Github password log-in issues in terminal & the (END) terminal notification.

These were two simple problems I ran into while learning to use terminal & github.

Github log-in password issues & the Key Symbol..

Notice this little guy in your terminal?

First encountering this problem led me down a rabbit hole of keychain access & nonsense.

The solution is simple. Terminal blocks your password from being displayed in any form. Simply rerun the command, enter in your password & press enter. Nothing will appear in the field, don’t fear — it works.

If you simply press Q you will be able to continue manipulating the terminal. Not 100% sure why this appears or what it means for the push so goodluck -\_(ツ)_/¯.
