Authentication

In order to clone non-public repositories and do synchronization, an authentication method is required. It is recommended to use SSH keys

Register SSH key

Login to https://git.app.uib.no
go to User settings -> SSH Keys (https://git.app.uib.no/-/profile/keys)
paste public SSH key from your .ssh folder, something like id_*.pub
select optionally a title and expiration date
click Add

Create access token

Login to https://git.app.uib.no
go to User settings -> Access Tokens (https://git.app.uib.no/-/profile/personal_access_tokens)
Choose name and expiration date and scopes
click Create personal access token
Store the token in a safe place or configure the relevant application for accessing the repository with this token immediately

Hints:

Create access tokens only for the scope with the minimal access permissions required for your purpose
Keep in mind: the token is only visible in the web interface after creation, you can not get it later
Unused tokens should be revoked as soon as possible
