Authentication: How to configure git bash to use SAML authentication?

Single Sign On for the "GitHub Enterprise" app on Okta works fine for me, I am using SAML 2.0. When a user logs in to Okta and clicks on the "GitHub Enterprise" app, they are authenticated.

I have a "Test" repository on GitHub Enterprise. Users will use the command line or git bash to access (read/write/clone) the "Test" repo. Is there a way to use SAML authentication on the command line rather than asking for username/password or SSH key?

Currently, there is no way for the git command line client to authenticate using SAML 2.0.

You will need to suspend users in GitHub Enterprise to disable their SSH keys.
