Unable to Access My Git Repo

I'm able to log in to git after the machine meltdown but it won't let me clone my repo. This is what I get
beelee@beelee-ThinkPad-T560:~$ mkdir git-repos
beelee@beelee-ThinkPad-T560:~$ cd git-repos

beelee@beelee-ThinkPad-T560:~/git-repos$I knew things were going too smoothly
Any help is appreciated
Edit
OK I figured it out. Had to switch to https
Edit 2
and the struggle continues lol
Edit 3
Cheese and rice what minor nightmare that was lol. I guess I'll just delete this massive wall lol Idk that it'll really help anyone. they can just ask there AI buddy lolEdit 4
Well actually it won't let me delete itSo yea follow the prompts so they can tell who you are and then you create a new token by going to your personal git avatar and
Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
Be real deliberate when you do the token. If you're in a hurry just wait and do it some other time

That's impressive you got through to a working solution @beelee
FWIW; I have an "ansible" that does a linux desktop setup. You should be able to point an AI at it and ask "how do I configure git". The installer has a pretty complete list of steps for setup, an AI can crib from it:
https://github.com/DanVanAtta/linux_setup
FWIW - I'm going to be playing around with Ubuntu 26.04 hopefully later today and will be exercising/testing that installer scripts (so, some README updates are likely to make it easier). I'm hoping Ubuntu 26.04 will fix the webcam on my laptop, hasn't work so far on prior Ubuntu's.
