1. You will be prompted for a password. Enter your current git-keeper password. You will not be able to see what you are typing, just trust yourself and use the force. When you have typed your password, hit the enter.
2. If your password was correct, you should now see a prompt that looks like this:

git>

1. Enter the command passwd and hit enter
2. You will have to enter your current password and then your new password twice (a second time to confirm)
