Git Clone from GitHub over https with two-factor authentication

Question

I recently began using two-factor authentication on GitHub, and I am now unable to use git over https on private repos in the usual way:

peter@computer:~$ git cl         


        

Answer 1

1st: Get personal access token. https://github.com/settings/tokens
2nd: Put account & the token. Example is here:

$ git push
Username for 'https://github.com':            # Put your GitHub account name
Password for 'https://{USERNAME}@github.com': # Put your Personal access token
