I set up a private test repository, and tried to clone as follows:

git clone https://aryehw@github.com/aryehw/testPrivate  
Cloning into 'testPrivate'...  
Password for 'https://aryehw@github.com':   
remote: Invalid username or password.  
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/aryehw/testPrivate/'

I found the following discussion, and tried some of the proposed solutions. No joy.
git clone: Authentication failed for <URL>

OS: Ubuntu 20.04, POP-OS

This is the output of git version:

amw@pop-os:~/git$ git version
git version 2.25.1

    https://github.com/aryehweiss/testPublic/ gives me 404, is that intended? :) welcome to SO – Daemon Painter Jun 29 '20 at 07:39
  • Thank you. It should be aryehw, not aryehweiss. Now it works for the public repository. However, I still cannot clone a private repository, after entering the password. – user13832811 Jun 29 '20 at 07:55

    Please edit in the right example, as it now sounds like you're having problems with a private repository, and since the one in the question is named "testPublic" I assume that isn't it. Also, out of curiosity, what does `git version` output? – Lasse V. Karlsen Jun 29 '20 at 08:13
  • Thank you. The question is now updated. – user13832811 Jun 29 '20 at 10:57
