Password for cloning from github?

Post by basikap »

Hi,
when I tryed to install the code for Adafruit Motor HAT from github:

git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Mo ... ibrary.git

they ask me for a username and password. How can I get them or sign up somehow?

Thank you

Updated:
Have signed up at github.com, still can't download the code. The answer is:
"Repository not found".

You can sign up for an account at Github, or you can just replace the 'https' with 'http' for a non-SSL download.

You should not need a password or an account to do `git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Mo ... ibrary.git`, even for https.

What version of git are you using (do `git --version` to find out), and what operating system and version are you using? Also, are you behind some kind of firewall that interferes with https?

Also, what is in your ~/.gitconfig file, if it exists (obfuscate parts for privacy if necessary)?
