Cloning issues private repo with GIT BASH

Question

I installed git bash on windows and when I try to clone a private repo (git clone https://github.com/username/project.git) , it doesn't ask me for my username and password and just stay stuck on : "Cloning into 'project name'...

But when I try to clone public repo, I don't have any problem

May you share the output of `git clone --verbose `? (replace `` with the actual repo url) — evolutionxbox, Jun 09 '21 at 11:45
it gets stuck on "Cloning into "projet name' ... even with --verbose option — guts_tribute, Jun 09 '21 at 11:53

apparently its just taking a long time cause my repo is huge — guts_tribute, Jun 09 '21 at 12:03
I let it clone for an hour, it created me just the root directory of my project but nothing more ... — guts_tribute, Jun 10 '21 at 07:35

A bit late but here's my solution go to control panel > Credentials Manager

Add Generic credential

network address: git:https://github.com

and your github username & password.
