it handles 2FA if my repo lies in Github and my account needs 2FA to sign in
It does not 😞
But there is no need for 2FA for cloning repo
Basically create a token and use it as user/password
EDIT:
With read-only permissions 🙂
ahan ! Thanks AgitatedDove14 i didnt know that was possible - so i'd use the token in place of the password right ? with my username staying the same as before ?
