KiCad 8 Git access problems

Software
1

I have unlocked the Git integration module in V8.0 and started to play around with it.

Cloning a public repository works well but when I create a private repo (I’ve uploaded a dummy project using Github Desktop and then tried to clone it back), which requires a password, I get an error message (401) and the password field is blanked out.

I suspect that this is due to that I cannot supply a password with the login id. Perhaps this feature is not yet supported or is there a way I can configure the password?

There are probably good reasons why this feature is behind a hidden config setting. Usually it’s because the feature is not ready for full deployment and still in a testing stage. Worth reporting on Git Lab but there may not be sufficient developer resources to quickly fix any issues at present.
