I am unable to Clone a private repository using Personal access token and Fine grained token in local using command Prompt. I am running following command in cmd. My goal is to integrate Git repo with snowflake, I was able to create SECRET and API INTEGRATION objects in snowflake, however when I tried creating GIT REPOSITORY, I was getting this error, "Failed to access the Git Repository. Operation 'clone' is not authorized."

Then I tried cloning my private repository locally as follows and got error message as follows.

https://@github.com//.git

Here is the error message I got.

remote: Personal access tokens (classic) are forbidden from accessing this repository.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/username/Snowflaketest/': The requested URL returned error: 403

When I tried using fine grained token, I got the following error.

remote: Write access to repository not granted.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/username/Snowflaketest/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Let me know how can I resolve this issue or what might be causing this.

1. Check Your Token Permissions:

Ensure that your personal access token (PAT) has the necessary permissions. For cloning, you typically need repo scope for classic tokens or the appropriate repository permissions for fine-grained tokens.

2. Correct URL Format:
   Make sure your clone URL includes your username. The format should be:
   git clone https://:@github.com//.git

3. Use SSH Instead of HTTPS:
   If HTTPS continues to cause issues, consider using SSH. First, set up SSH keys on GitHub, then use the SSH URL:
   git clone [email protected]:/.git

4. Update Git:
   Ensure you are using the latest version of Git. Older versions might have issues with newer authentication methods.

5. Check Repository Access:
   Verify that your GitHub account has the necessary access to the repository. If it’s an organization repository, ensure your token is authorized to access it.

6.Credential Caching:
If you are using credential caching, make sure the cached credentials are up-to-date. You can clear the cache and re-enter your credentials.
