For cloning a private repository simply putting the password
and username
will not be enough as the terminal will not tell but you will have to copy the personal_access_token
using the github account and put it in the place of your password.
$ git clone https://github.com/username/repo.git
Username: your_username
Password: your_token
Further you can easily access your token through the steps given below: -
Now check the repo column and now click on Generate token
Now copy and it and paste it when the terminal asks for password.
