git clone via SSH

There are several ways to clone a repo but SSH is the easiest and most secure so use it always instead of HTTPS.

See this to set up SSH access.

If git connection is HTTPS then user is asked for username/password. Instead of a password, provide a token, that can be generated like this. It’s better however to simply use SSH.
