Frequently Asked Questions

from different vendors to curate knowledge!!

Why does my GitHub repository show 'invalid username or password' when cloning?

This error suggests incorrect credentials. Check username and password, or use a personal access token for authentication.

The 'invalid username or password' error usually indicates incorrect credentials during clone or pull requests. With GitHub phasing out password-based authentication, users are now required to use a personal access token (PAT) instead. To create one, go to *Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens* and generate a new token with the appropriate permissions for your repository. Use this token in place of a password when prompted. If you're using HTTPS URLs for cloning, replace the URL format to `https://username:[email protected]/repo` where `token` is your generated PAT. For SSH, ensure that your SSH keys are correctly added to your GitHub account in *Settings > SSH and GPG keys*. This method resolves authentication errors, allowing you to connect securely to GitHub.
