Cloning repository via http protocol
If you are cloning a repository via the HTTP protocol, you might need to provide authentication details if the repository is private. You will be prompted to enter your username and password. If the repository is public, you can skip these values.
If the repository is protected and requires authentication, but you did not provide the username and password initially, you will be prompted to enter these details during the checkout process.
