To test the modular boost docs I'm writing, I did this:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git modular-boost
cd modular-boost
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 headers
cd libs/system
git checkout develop
# did a simple edit of one file
git commit -a -m "my bug fix"
git push origin develop

Everything ran as expected until the last step, which resulted in this:

    Username for 'http://github.com':

That's a problem. Authentication needs to happen automatically.

What steps did I miss?

Thanks,
