GitHub clone repo with fine-grained personal access tokens (PAT)

Question

With classical Github tokens you can clone a repo like this:

git clone https://<your-token>@github.com/owner/repo.git

This doesn't work with the new fine-grained tokens.

How do you clone a GitHub repo with the new fine-grained tokens?

Answer 1

When using fine-grained tokens you have to prefix the token with oauth2: user.
like this:

git clone https://oauth2:<your-fine-grained-token>@github.com/owner/repo.git
