 Enter your password when it asks. The script installs Node.js, Python, Chrome, PostgreSQL, Redis, rclone and nginx; installs the Node and Python dependencies; creates any missing `.env` files (existing ones are kept); sets up the database; and creates the desktop shortcuts. It is safe to re-run.
 
+### D — Let git remember your Gitea login (one time)
+
+So `git push` doesn't ask for the password every time:
+
+```sh
+git config --global credential.helper store
+cd ~/Desktop/DentalManagement09
+git push origin main
+```
+
+Enter the Gitea username and password once when asked — git saves them and won't prompt again.
+
+> Prefer a Gitea **access token** over your real password: log into https://gitea.mydentalofficemanagement.com → profile picture → **Settings** → **Applications** → **Generate New Token** (give it **Read and Write** access to **repository**), and paste the token when git asks for the password. A token can be revoked in Gitea at any time without changing your password.
+
+> `store` saves the login in plain text in `~/.git-credentials`. The keyring-based helper isn't an option here because Step 1a removes gnome-keyring.
+
 Still done by hand afterwards: the Security Setup above, Step 1 (auto-login / keyring), Step 12a (Cloudflare subdomain), the LAN HTTPS certificate (the script only enables the nginx site once that certificate exists), and the optional Steps 17–18.
