  This was very helpful. I used this guide to help clarify that:

  Username is the GitHub user ID and Password is the Password or a personal API Token (recommended).

  The contextual in-line help (and gitScm pipeline step error handling) don't mention that a pure 'Secret Text' API Token cannot be used without the username.

  Effectively, Github use in Jenkins requires a Github service account to be managed by operations/IT.
