    Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don’t use GitHub but I’d be surprised if they did. There’s been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you’re using to access GitHub.

      Email is good to know. i assumed it would be sms only for me, as I do not own a smart phone either, and figured it would be tied to a phone number somehow.

        you can get a google voice number and use it on your computer.

        You can get a fido physical key, then you don’t need email or sms at all.
