I’ve just installed GitExtension. Everything is configured. When I click on “Clone Github Repository”, It opens a dialog box titled “Github Configuration” with following input boxes:
1. User
2. Password
3. APIToken
when I click on “Get Api Token” button, It takes me to my github.com profile. But there’s no API key in there. I searched for an hour approximately, but couldn’t figure out where to find it.

Note: It seems that GitHub recently changed their authentication method! I ain’t sure what to do now. Any help would be appreciated..

    API Tokens are not supported by Github anymore

    You do not need the API Token to work with git.

    It might be that GitExtension has not updated their authentication method. There is a command line Git tool for Windows, this will work:
