I have installed the git command line. Every time I try to clone a repo I get an authentication error.

fatal: Authentication failed for ....

It works on my mac but not on my windows laptop. Does anyone have an idea?

  • What are you trying to clone? Does it require authentication? Have you provided the correct credentials? – larsks Apr 06 '17 at 20:30

you can use code in command line

git clone https://username@example.com/.../project_name.git

or 

git clone https://username:password@example.com/.../project_name.git
