`notebook_login` showing unavoidable warning on Google Colab

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When a user logs in using

from huggingface_hub import notebook_login
notebook_login()

in a Google Colab, even when everything goes right, the user sees this warning which they have no control over

I think that this could be suppressed on Colab

So I see 2 things here:

Showing the warning in a google colab is not super useful as I assume 99% of the users don’t care about the git credential store (please correct me if I’m wrong). What I suggest is to update huggingface_hub to check if we are in a google colab and if yes, run git config --global credential.helper store in the background and disable the warning. It would be a very specific fix but I feel google colab is used a lot to promote our work.
As @julien-c mentioned, we could do better than using the git credential store. Let’s create a separate issue to address it: https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/issues/1051

If that’s fine with everyone, I’ll address 1. before next release. Point 2. has slightly less priority in my opinion.

I also find it a bit annoying locally - but I thought maybe it was indeed some setting up I could do on my machine to fix - but on colab I thought the user has no control over it
