Local Workspaces Permissions Management and GitHub Integration

I have a folder ~/workspaces where I place all my local repositories from GitHub and other coding projects.
I use VS Code and have had permissions problems since I installed Ubuntu a month ago. I receive the EACCES: permission denied in VS Code when I try to save files every single time after I did a git checkout branch. Is this normal?
I counter it with $ sudo chown -R <user-name> <directory-name> and sudo chmod -R 777 . (I do not really know whats the difference anyway) but it keeps coming up again.
Also, I thought doing sudo npm i is a bad thing but I keep getting Access Denied Errors for both local and global installations with npm if I do not sudo. How can I prevent this?
Finally, I would love to automatically login with GitHub via console without the need to constantly login with username and password. A quick Google could not find me a solution. How can I integrate an Access Token for the whole workspace folder (all repositories)? Is this possible?
Thank you very much for your support, it is much appreciated!
I am on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS btw.

who owns~/workspaces(ls -l ~/workspaces), how do you launch vscode. And password aging can be used to prevent constant logins.

Turn on the credential helper so that Git will save your password in memory for some time. By default, Git will cache your password for 15 minutes.
git config --global credential.helper cache
# Set git to use the credential memory cache
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
# Set the cache to timeout after 1 hour (setting is in seconds)
