How do I provide a username and password when running “git clone [email protected]”?

Based on Michael Scharf’s comment:

You can leave out the password so that it won’t be logged in your Bash history file:

git clone https://[email protected]/username/repository.git

It will prompt you for your password.

Alternatively, you may use:

git clone https://username:[email protected]/username/repository.git

This way worked for me from a GitHub repository.
