  • You *must* URL-encode password characters that would otherwise trigger URL stuff, i.e., replace `@` with `%40`, replace `:` with `%3a`, and replace `%` with `%25`. – torek May 20 '20 at 20:10

I would use the ssh+git protocol.

The other alternative is to get a token from github and use that instead of user/pw.

putting passwords directly on the command line is a bad practice.
