Fixing auth error with Cargo dependencies from GitHub

When trying to use a Cargo dependency straight from GitHub, an error was popping in the console:

failed to authenticate when downloading repository
* attempted ssh-agent authentication, but no usernames succeeded: `git`

The solution was to create a ~/.cargo/config.toml file, and then paste:

[net]
git-fetch-with-cli = true
