I'm trying to clone a GitHub private repo. I've access to it

So what i do is (HTTPS)

git clone https://github.com/xxxx1/xxxx2.git 

When i do that i receive:

Cloning into 'xxxx2'...
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/xxxx1/xxxx2.git/' not found

First thing that looks weird for me is the extra "/" at the end, but i don't think that's the problem.

The only way i can do the git clone is via GitHub Desktop App, by URL.

On git status

$ git status
On branch develop
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/develop'.

On git fetch

$ git fetch
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/xxxx1/xxxx2.git/' not found

So the question is, what i'm doing wrong to be unable to clone the repo trough git bash?

Thanks so much

If you are using two factor authorization (2FA) for your Github account then just use SSH option for cloning your repository:

CodePudding user response：

SSH creation with Git bash: That worked for me

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

Enter file in which to save the key (/c/Users/xxxx/.ssh/id_rsa):

Press enter

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Type a passphrase]
Enter same passphrase again: [Type passphrase again]

Press enter

$ cd .ssh
$ ls

Received

id_rsa  id_rsa.pub  known_hosts

• First one is our private key (don’t share it to anyone)

• Second one is our public key

  $ cat id_rsa.pub

  ssh-rsa […]

On GitHub go to your user picture:

• Settings
• SSH and GPG Keys
• New SSH Key:
• Title: [Empty]
• Value: Our public key
• Click on: Add new SSH Key

On Git bash:

• cd ..
• cd Documents
• git clone [email protected]:xxxx1/xxxx2.git
• cd [name_of_repo_cloned_folder]
• git checkout develop
