using gitlab token to clone without authentication

Question

I want to clone gitlab repository without prompt for my automation script, by using my private token from my gitlab account.

Can someone provide me a sample?

Answer 1

Use the token instead of the password (the token needs to have "api" scope for clone to be allowed):

git clone https://username:token@gitlab.com/user/repo.git

Tested against 11.0.0-ee.
