Ah ok, Skara just bootstrapped itself.

Ok.

Yes, Git works fine without this. Skara does not strictly need this, but 
the Skara tooling will ask you for you username and personal access 
token (PAT) every time if you do not store them in a credential store 
using a credential helper.

We do support supplying your token via an environment variable for users 
who do not wish to (or are unable to) use a token store. See the 
description under the "Manual" section on the Skara wiki [0] for an 
example using gpg.

Depending on your security needs you can also use the "cache" and/or 
"store" credential helpers, see [1] for more details.

Ok.

Thanks,
