Clone GitHub Repository with Personal Access Token

Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) here. Then you can use it to clone a repository, and save the need for a private key. Especially helpful on a server.

# Clone a repository:
git clone https://<token>@github.com/owner/repo.git

# Clone a branch from a repository:
git clone --branch <branch-name> https://<token>@github.com/owner/repo.git

About

I'm a technology professional who's been passionate about computers since my Grandad introduced me to an Intel 386 back in the 90s when I was a kid. Those moments inspired a passion within for technology, and I've been playing around with anything with a circuit board ever since. Whenever I have a moment you can probably find me working on something computer-related, and this is where I like to write about those moments.
