Patch for #34710, improving caching credentials with oauth mention

[JDLH]

Why:

Closes: #34710

This is based on my difficulties understanding how to get OAuth authentication from my local Git installation. The current content does not mention OAuth, or the need for organisation approval of OAuth apps not pre-approved by GitHub. Both those omissions caused obstacles for me. This is the content I wished I had at the time.

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Adding section about other Git credential helpers, and mention OAuth. Add a few words putting GitHub CLI and GCM in relationship to the local Git installation.

I had an earlier version of this PR, #34711 , but I inadvertently closed it. Oops. This replaces that PR. It also addresses some lint problems.

I would like help diagnosing these check-links errors:

Error: Unable to find Page by '/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-membership-in-organizations/requesting-organization-approval-for-oauth-apps'.
    To fix it, look at content/get-started/getting-started-with-git/caching-your-github-credentials-in-git.md on line 121 and see if the link is correct and active.
Error: Unable to find Page by '/organizations/managing-oauth-access-to-your-organizations-data/approving-oauth-apps-for-your-organization'.
    To fix it, look at content/get-started/getting-started-with-git/caching-your-github-credentials-in-git.md on line 122 and see if the link is correct and active.

The source text from caching-your-github-credentials-in-git.md?plain=1#L115-L116 is:

1. You must request that organization's approval for OAuth access by your helper. See "[AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-membership-in-organizations/requesting-organization-approval-for-oauth-apps)".
1. The organization must approve access. See "[AUTOTITLE](/organizations/managing-oauth-access-to-your-organizations-data/approving-oauth-apps-for-your-organization)".

The public URLs of the articles to which I want to link are:

1. https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-membership-in-organizations/requesting-organization-approval-for-oauth-apps
2. https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-oauth-access-to-your-organizations-data/approving-oauth-apps-for-your-organization

I understand from another link checker run that I should not include the https://docs.github.com/ prefix in the link. Fair enough.

I don't understand the correct way to express those links in this article. I would appreciate guidance.

The output from test-changed-content looks to me like a consequence of the same link problem. The error message says, "Error: Unable to find Page by…" and gives the same link paths.

Interestingly, the fpt and ghec previews listed above have correct links to the GitHub articles in question. The ghes previews all give me error messages, however.

@JDLH Thanks so much for opening a PR! I'll get this triaged for review ✨

Hi @JDLH — the inclusion of any links to articles such as this one, which is not versioned for GHES, in an article that is versioned for GHES, will cause link errors.

We'd look at fixing these once an SME has looked at the content you're proposing.

Many thanks
