Authentication Error when cloning Private Repo [message #1855147]

Hello there.

I created a private github repo for a project of mine.

I am able to clone the repository using the windows command line client but cannot clone using Egit.

I know that I am using the correct credentials so I don't really know what is going on.

The following is from the error log.

Hello there.

Solved my own problem(eventually rtfm'd).

You have to generate a Personal Access Tokens for your account under developer settings.

The users guide is at https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token

Once the token is generated you use it in place of your github account's password.

Glad you figured this out. It's mentioned at https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#GitHub_Tutorial .
