GitHub 2 factor login

[scj643]

The api has no support for 2 factor authentication.

An OAuth token would be the way to go.
https://developer.github.com/v3/auth/#working-with-two-factor-authentication

So either implement the X-GitHub-OTP flow, or use an OAuth token.
Keep in mind that GitHub also recommends an OAuth token

Because these authentication codes expire quickly, we recommend using the Authorizations API to create an access token and using that token to authenticate via OAuth for most API access.

Is there a workflow for application developers to use this?

Some code examples of programmatically converting a user/pass combo into an oauth token?

Specifically: I need a code example to get an OAuth token in the first place, given that in my code flow i have the username and password. I totally understand how to get a token out of pipeline, stick it in a hidden ~/.github text file, and can see it working. I have no idea how to use the Java code to get that token programmatically.

I have an application using Github-api and would be very interested in a tested working example of using 2fa with the provided Java API (or a new API). Adding suggestions to re-parse API calls that the library was designed to interface with leaves me very confused with where to start and how this suggestion fits with the already provided code examples.

This works as expected.

I can now confirm that the full 2 factor authentication workflow for requesting a token works.
