Ubuntu Lightsail: Cloning private GitHub repository using a personal access token (PAT)
0
Took help of ChatGPT: When cloning your private GitHub repository using a personal access token (PAT), you need to replace the placeholders in the command with your actual GitHub username and repository name. Here's the breakdown of the placeholders:
<your-username>: Your GitHub username. <your-PAT>: Your personal access token. <your-repository>: The name of your repository. For example, if your GitHub username is johndoe, your personal access token is ghp_abcdef1234567890, and your repository name is my-flask-app, you would enter:
git clone https://johndoe:ghp_abcdef1234567890@github.com/johndoe/my-flask-app.git
cd my-flask-app
For my case then, I have this code:
git clone https://SplendidDigital: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@github.com/SplendidDigital/code50/23315992.git
cd code50/23315992
Not sure what I am missing as showing:
Obifze08XiPl@github.com/SplendidDigital/code50/23315992.git
Cloning into '23315992'...
remote: Not Found
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/SplendidDigital/code50/23315992.git/' not found

Hello.
Please try using the URL below.
"SplendidDigital/" in the URL is not required.
Also, be careful not to expose your GitHub credentials publicly.
git clone https://SplendidDigital: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@github.com/code50/23315992.git
Thanks! Tried once again but getting: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

Hello,
To clone a private GitHub repository using a personal access token (PAT), use the following format:
$ git clone https://<your-username>:<your-PAT>@github.com/<your-username>/<your-repository>.git
For your specific case, use:
$ git clone https://SplendidDigital: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@github.com/SplendidDigital/code50.git
$ cd code50
If you still encounter issues, double-check the repository URL on GitHub to ensure it matches exactly.

This error message indicates that there is a directory with the same name within the directory where you executed the "git clone" command. In other words, the error occurs because the directory "23315992" already exists.
It worked. Later, I thought to delete the PAT and create fresh one. After creating a fresh PAT, replaced with the new PAT: git clone https://SplendidDigital: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@github.com/code50/23315992.git
This time getting this:
ubuntu@ip-172-26-0-248:
$ git clone https://SplendidDigital:ghp_MCRjajs3vy6wQ2kybmL3jm3c LQKdl92YiT31@github.com/code50/23315992.git fatal: destination path '23315992' already exists and is not an empty directory. ubuntu@ip-172-26-0-248:$Update: Resolved this way:
rm -rf 23315992 git clone https://SplendidDigital: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@github.com/code50/23315992.git
