Git clone command line https authorization error

Question

I have installed the git command line. Every time I try to clone a repo I get an authentication error.

fatal: Authentication failed for ....

It works on my mac but not on my windows laptop. Does anyone have an idea?

What are you trying to clone? Does it require authentication? Have you provided the correct credentials? — larsks

git clone https://[email protected]/.../project_name.git

or

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