*Memos:

• My post explains how to clone a private repository with FGPAT(Fine-Grained Personal Access Token) from Github.
• My post explains useful IPython magic commands.

With PAT(Personal Access Token), you can clone a private repository from your account and you can also clone a private repository from your organization if you're its owner or member:
*Memos:

• You need to generate a PAT and add it to the command below. *Organization doesn't have PAT or FGPAT generator.
• A PAT cannot select permissions more precisely(finely) than FGPAT.
• pat is PAT.
• fgpat is FGPAT.
• usr is username.
• org is organization.
• repo is repository.

git clone https://<pat or fgpat>@github.com/<usr or org>/<repo>.git
