想要将私有存储库克隆到本地计算机。 （第一次使用命令行git。）

Question

I would like to clone a private already existing repo to my local server. I've tried a series of commands to no avail.

[user@BC-01 gitTEST]$ git clone https://github.com/*****/Clinical.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/dir/gitTEST/Clinical/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/*****/Clinical.git/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

[user@BC-01 gitTEST]$ git clone https://user:pwrdgit@github.com/*****/Clinical.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/dir/gitTEST/Clinical/.git/
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://user:pwrdgit@github.com/*****/Clinical.git/info/refs

How can I get this private repo cloned?

Answer 1

I recommend using SSH key authentication, so you do not need to type in your login and password everytime you connect to GitHub. First follow the documentation to setup SSH authentication .

Then use the clone command with SSH link to your repo and it should work.

[user@BC-01 gitTEST]$ git clone git@github.com:<username>/Clinical.git
