Thanks for your suggestion. I was mistakedly thinking ssh wasn't available, but I was confusing using git over ssh with GitHub (which iiuc is no longer supported), with using ssh authentication for git over https. I will add my public ssh key to my github account and expect success this time (I'm already using my private key to ssh login to other servers, so I expect that part should already work).
