Can't git clone when username:password are supplied in url












0















If I attempt to run the following command, it fails with authentication failed.



 git clone https://username:password@tfs.site.com/Collection/_git/ProjectName


If I just run



 git clone https://username@tfs.site.com/Collection/_git/ProjectName


It prompts for a password, which when supplied, it authenticates successfully and clones the repository.



If I don't supply anything, it prompts for the username and password, which when entered, it works as expected.



Why can't I clone when I supply the username and password in the url but I can when I just supply the username?
