I generated an api token but don't know how to get git to use it. I keep getting the 410 message

Question

I had been using a password for years with git and it worked both in webstorm and the command line.

I now have to use an API Token. I created it, but I can't figure out how to tell the computer to use it.

Edit:

Nevermind, I figured it out. I had to put the token on the command line.

There was a little thrashing around, but I think all I would have needed to do is this following on the command line:

```

git remote set-url origin https://{MY_NAME}:{MY_TOKEN}@bitbucket.org/{MY_NAME}/{MY_REPO}.git

```
