Cloning a private repository

#1

It seems that cloning the private repository does not work. Despite I am asked to give the username and token, which I do, this is the error message I am receiving:

Cloning into '/Users/milinp/OrderEffects'...
remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021.
remote: Please see https://docs.github.com/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories#cloning-with-https-urls for information on currently recommended modes of authentication.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/ooominds/OrderEffects.git/'

git failed with exit code 128

Please advise

As the link in the error message explains you need either an access token or use ssh authentication. See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68775869/message-support-for-password-authentication-was-removed

Hi @striatum,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue.

Could you confirm what platform you’re on?
Could you also confirm what build number you’re on (this can be found in the Sublime Merge menu under Help > About Sublime Merge)

You can also get this error if there an incorrect token is used. Just to rule it out, can you check to see if a newly generated personal access token works?

Thanks,
- Dylan from Sublime HQ

I am using macOS Sonoma. The Sublime Merge build is 2096.

A newly generated personal access token works like a charm. (I don’t know why the old one stopped working though.)

Thanks so much!
