git clone of non-existent repository results in request for credentials REPRODUCING: sudo apt install git git clone https://github.com/xorbit/LiFePo4owered-Pi.git #this repo does not exist Git will then prompt for username and password on Github. I can see a valid data-leak concern (one could probe for private repository names in a brute-force fashion), but then again the UX impact is appalling. Chances of someone typing an invalid repo name are pretty high, and this error message has nothing to do with the actual error. RESOLUTION: The error message should indicate that the repository name does not exist.
