Git Clone Private Repository

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 ALL INFORMATION CLICK HERE 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻

Git is an open-source, version control tool created in 2005 by developers working on the Linux operating system.
Cloning public repositories from Github or Gitlab using git is pretty straightforward, but when it comes to handle a private one, sometimes the situation is a bit tricky. You can either clone a private Github repository with a password like you normally would with any other online service, or do it with a token if you enabled 2-factor-authentication on your account or your organization uses SAML SSO. Alternatively, you can also clone private Github repo with SSH credentials.
In this article, we will show you how to clone a private repo using git with both a password and a Github token. We will also cover possible solutions to the common "Repository not found" error message when you try to clone a private repo from Github.
To check if Git is correctly installed on Windows or Linux, execute the following command :
In order to clone a private Github repo with an username and password pair, you can simply put the username in front of github.com, following with @ like so :
git clone https://your_username@repository_url

git clone https://linuxpip@github.com/go-gitea/gitea.git #An example
git clone git://your_username@github.com/username/private-repo.git

Cloning into 'private-repo'
Password for 'https://your_username@repository_url:
remote: Enumerating objects: 3, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Alternatively, if you don't really care about exposing your password in plain text, you can put it directly in the repository URL :
git clone https://your_username:your_password@github.com/username/private-repo.git
Important: Private repositories cannot be cloned using git protocol.
git clone https://github.com/orgname/reponame.git #WILL NOT WORK
git config --global hub.protocol https
Using an username/password pair, you have to input the password every time you want to push, pull or do operations to the repo. This behaviour can be annoying at times. Luckily, you can permanently store your password in git configuration file so you won't be prompted ever again.
First, you have to enable the credentials helper by setting the credential.helper flag to store.
git config --global credential.helper store
From now on, you will be asked to provide the password on the first time you clone a new private repository. Once git successfully connected to the repo, the password will be stored in .git-credentials file inside your home directory.
cat ~/.git-credentials

To be able to clone from Github using SSH, you must generate an SSH keypair on your computer and add the public key to your GitHub account. Github documentation has extensively covered the process at Connecting to GitHub with SSH.
Next, you have to find the repository SSH URL from Github repo page.
Click Use SSH and the SSH URL should be displayed in a second.
This SSH URL works exactly the same way username/password pair does, except you don't have to enter a password because it is already stored on your system in the form of a private key.
In order to clone a Github repo with a 2FA-enabled Github account, you need to use a personal access token instead of entering the password. This Github token also allows you to login to organizations that uses SAML single sign-on - a technology used to control who can access which part of the repository.
Head over to Github dashboard. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings.
In the left sidebar, click Developer settings.
You will be redirected to Github Apps page. In the left sidebar, click Personal access tokens and then Generate new token.
You have to give your token a descriptive name and grant it the permission to access your repositories. To use your token to access repositories from the command line, select repo. Finally, click Generate Token button at the end of the webpage.
Treat your tokens like passwords and keep them secret because they are actually your password to some extent.
Once you have the token, you can use it just like a password. Whenever you are prompted for password, input that token. The token is pretty long and hard to remember, so I recommend you saving it to avoid type it again and again.
git config --global credential.helper store

git clone https://your_username:your_github_token@github.com/username/private-repo.git
If you see this error message when cloning a private Github repo, it basically means that the repository does not exists (of course) and you don't have the permission to access it.
First, try each of the below checklist taken from Github docs :
If "Repository not found" does not disappear and you're using Windows, you may have old session state. In order to delete them and cleanly log in to Github again, you have to follow these steps:
On Linux, try clearing saved credentials from your system with the following command.
On a MacOS device, you can go to Keychain Access, find the credentials related to Git and Github, then change the username and password to the correct value.
git credential-manager uninstall
git credential-manager install
We hope that you've learned how to clone a private repo using git with username/password pair and a Github token. If you see "Repository not found" error message when you try to clone a private repo from Github, you may know solved it. We've covered a few more tutorials and articles on how to use git and troubleshoot it, have a look and let we know what you think.

Hi @jurajbgh, there are two main ways to accompilsh this, the first is authenticating with SSH - you can read GitHub’s articles to help you with setting this up 3.7k, however, it’s more advanced.
The second way is using HTTPS and providing your username and password in the URL. For example if I was cloning a public repository I might use:
but if the repository was private then I’d use:
Hi, might be possible that authentication fails when using HTTPS and providing your username and password in the URL in case the password contains special chars (case example: p@ssword )? 
If you have a special character in your password, replace it with values from this website https://support.brightcove.com/special-characters-usernames-and-passwords 1.1k case example: p@ssword --> p%40ssword
I got this message: fatal: protocol ‘git clone https’ is not supported. Not sure why…
For anyone else reading, know that using the
way of doing things will cause your password to be written into the repo you just cloned in several different places, most notably the remote url. Do not do this if you are planning to share access to your clone with anyone!
If you are added as a collaborator to that private repository you will be prompted for your password. That way you are not storing your password as plain text in remote..url as mentioned by @hbraundsp . Though that won’t be necessary in near future since GitHub have decided to deprecate password based authentication.
Thanks a lot! I had been trying to clone a private repo, but couldn’t find a working answer anywhere!
