Github Support for password authentication was removed – In this article I want to share a tutorial on how to solve git errors when we want to retrieve files from github. Here is the error:
neon@neon:~/Documents/KERJA/FAHMI$ git clone https://github.com/Testing/myproject.git
Cloning into 'myproject'...
Username for 'https://github.com': whyme31
Password for 'https://whyme31@github.com':
remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.
remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/Testing/myproject.git/'This is because we can no longer use the existing link addresses in general. By default the command we use is:
git clone https://github.com/Testing/myproject.gitBut that method can no longer be used!
The newest way is to include a token.
Here is the format:
git clone https://<your_token>@github.com/Testing/myproject.gitHow to Activate Github Token
To be able to activate the github token, follow this method:
- Login to your github account
- Select the Settings menu -> Developer Settings
- Then click Personal access tokens
- Then click Generate new token
- Fill in the Note form with information
- Check Repo
- Click Generate token.
- You will get a token code.
- For example the tokens I get:
ghp_FCdJGH4HJSphPEowaGR6WaTonj95Gk3Nn0zZ
- Next enter the token into the command like:
- If true, then you will get an error like this:
neon@neon:~/Documents/KERJA/FAHMI$ git clone https://ghp_FCdJGH4HJSphPEowaGR6WaTonj95Gk3Nn0zZ@github.com/Testing/myproject.git
