I am trying to clone a repository using wsl but I get the error
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository '<WORKING LINK>' not found
I can clone the repository using github desktop application or by using power shell
I have tried to delete the credential file as I read that it might give this problem
After which I get the
remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021.
error.
I do NOT have access to the PAT of the repo as I am not the owner but I am a collaborator
The Repository is a private repository
Can anyone help with this? Thank you

First thing, add you git configurations to the system:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Then you can create Personal Access Token from your Github account here. Note that PAT is account specific and if you are a collaborator in a repo then you can use your PAT to do stuff (according to the privileges you have)
Now try cloning your repository normally using the following:
git clone https://github.com/privateRepo/privateRepo.git # using HTTPS
The prompt will ask for your username password/Authentication Token.
or
git clone https://username:[email protected]/user/repo
