Authentication keeps failing while trying to clone a git repository from OCI to Local

User_5T3AS

Hi everyone, newcomer here

I've created a DevOps code repo in OCI and I'm trying to clone it to Local - but after entering my credentials in GitBash I keep getting the message:

"fatal: Authentication failed for '<HTTPS clone link to my git repo>.git'"

I've tried my username in the formats "TenancyName/Federation/UserName" and "TenancyName/YourUserName" - and for the password I'm using a fresh auth token generated on that same account. Does anyone have any pointers as to why it keeps failing? From what I've read these should be the correct credentials.

This is the process I've been following: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/devops/using/clone_repo.htm

Thanks in advance!

Did you tell git who you are by setting your email/password? Check that by looking up git config --list and provide the output with your question. You probably have to do git config --global user.email [email protected]

Try to put the username/password on the git clone: git clone https://username:[email protected]://tfs.somehostname.com/tfs/somefolder/_git/therepository
