I have EGit 5.11.1 plugin installed in Eclipse Luna 4.4.2. I'm trying to clone my private GitHub repository in Eclipse using the HTTPS URI. Getting the below error. I have configured HTTPS.sslVerify and HTTP.sslVerify as false as suggested in some other posts. I'm not using any proxy server enter image description here

Also, the git clone of the same URL above works fine from git bash and strangely does not even ask for the user name password.

P.S.

    In case you use your GitHub account password for your Git repository which does not work anymore since August 13, 2021: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68802292/6505250 By the way, your Eclipse is pretty outdated, please upgrade. – howlger Dec 06 '21 at 20:00
  • Thanks @howlger. It did work with PAT. However, I still do not understand why Git bash was able to clone the repo without personal access token. I had some old credentials stored in Windows Credentials, and even when I changed my github password, Git bash was able to clone the repo. Only today, when I manually removed the password from Windows credential manager did it give the below error asking me to use personal access token and also prompted to sign in to github. – P.S.

  • Cloning and fetching a public GitHub repository via HTTPS does not require authentication. – howlger Dec 07 '21 at 07:58
