Why not add a quick login method like VSCode and CLion in git? Login to GitHub/ GitLab with one click, without privete key.

I am not sure this has anything to do with git itself. One does not "login" to git. You might want to take this up with the GitHub/GitLab support forums. However, one-click login is being replace with MFA.

Yes. And please place replies at end on this mailing list. Thanks. --Randall
RE: Quick login of git
Visit the url provided by IDE in the browser, and then click "Auth" to login. Wait a moment, GitHub will return a token to the program, and you can easily login to GitHub. Popular IDEs have this login method. This configuration is much faster than the terminal, and it takes less than 1 minute. But it takes 5-10 minutes to configure by terminal for the new users.

RE: Quick login of git
Some IDEs (such us VSCode / CLion / Idea, etc.) can login to GitHub / GitLab in browser, but git cannot, so git should change itself. And I was suggesting changes in GitHub Community but told me suggest on Git Community.

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 :/

Git for Windows ships with the default credential helper as Git Credential Manager Core, which will try to log in to some of the most popular services with a native token.
However, this is not a part of core Git. Folks who would like to use this credential manager are welcome to do so, in which case it will work for some services, but there's no way to automatically do this in the general case, because it isn't guaranteed that a Git server provides an automatic way to get a token. For example, my personal Git server uses only Kerberos authentication and doesn't issue tokens of any sort.
