I'm trying to build script which clone git repository without the need to enter the username and password.

and try in that way:

git clone http://MyUserName:MyPassword@Location

But I'm getting the following error: fatal: Authentication failed for http://MyUserName:MyPassword@Location

When I'm running the command without password:

 git clone http://MyUserName@Location

and enter the password in the next step, it works.

I want that it will be automatic without the need to enter the password.

what am I missing with the first command ?

Why don't you just store your password in the Git credential helper? – Tim Biegeleisen Nov 21 '18 at 06:04

Do you have a special character in your password? – VonC Nov 21 '18 at 06:08
simple password: big letter, small letter and several digits – Boom Nov 21 '18 at 06:10

Why don't you use SSH instead of http? – Johnykutty Nov 21 '18 at 06:16
can you reinstall the git without checking the Git credential manager, – Nikhil K S Dec 27 '18 at 06:48
