Carina Computing Platform

Clone from GitHub

Carina does not allow SSH use with GitHub. You must use HTTPS. The URL can be found on the repo's GitHub page, and it is used like this:

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/your-repo.git

Cloning A Private Repo

If it is a private repo that requires you to sign in, you must set up a personal access token on GitHub, scoped to repo as shown below. 

Screenshot of GitHub UX showing that the token being created is scoped to Repo.

You will use this token instead of a password when accessing the private repo through the command line.  The username/password pair is your GitHub username and the personal access token.

The https:// url for a repo can be found by clicking the <>Code button and selecting Local > HTTPS
