I know how to include a username and password in an HTTPS Git URL

  • 0

I know how to include a username and password in an HTTPS Git URL like this:

git clone https://username:password@host

But I’d like to know how to provide a username and password to an SSH remote like this:

git clone git@host.git

I’ve tried like this:

git clone username:password@git@host.git
git clone git@username:password@host.git
git clone git@host.git@username:password

But they haven’t worked.

    Based on Michael Scharf’s comment:

    You can leave out the password, so that it won’t be logged in your Bash history file:

    git clone https://username@github.com/username/repository.git
    

    It will prompt you for your password.

    Alternatively, you may use:

    git clone https://username:password@github.com/username/repository.git
    

    This way worked for me from a GitHub repository.
