- Step
Create a personal access token by following https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
- Step
Using the personal access tokens to authenticate lets clone a repository.
Form your url as shown below. Replace the personal_token
with the token you have got.
# To clone using personal token
git clone https://oauth2:personal_token@gitlab.com/username/project.git
If the project is already cloned and you have done few commits already by painstakingly providing the login and token every time then do this:
- Open the file
.git/config
invscode
or any editor you prefer - Change the
url
as show below with your personal access token
[remote "origin"]
url = https://oauth2:1AbCDeF_g2HIJKLMNOPqr@gitlab.com/yourusername/project.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
