I believe you're referring to this? https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/github#_authenticating-with-an-existing-repository

This is using PATs, so the same authentication can be used in CLI.

I recall seeing a github login window when I was playing around with https authentication in Git for Windows. Not sure what happens if you login through that as I quit that window. I believe the default credential helper already saves username/password for https remotes.

It should be noted that many prefer to authenticate using ssh-keys but ssh isn't viable for all remotes/environments :/
