Clone GitHub Repository with Different User

Snowy mountains

To clone a GitHub repository with a different user:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository.

  2. If your GitHub username is "username", simply run:

    $ git clone https://username@github.com/example/repo.git

     

  3. Enter your GitHub password when prompted

  4. Git will then clone the repository with the provided username and password. You should now have a local copy of the repository in your current directory.
