Answer 2

You can use SSH protocol to connect your private repo with colab

1) Generate SSH keys

2) upload it to colab

from google.colab import files
uploaded = files.upload()

3) Move the ssh kay pairs to /root and connect to git

• remove previously ssh files
  ! rm -rf /root/.ssh/*
  ! mkdir /root/.ssh
• uncompress your ssh files
  ! tar -xvzf ssh.tar.gz
• copy it to root
  ! cp ssh/* /root/.ssh && rm -rf ssh && rm -rf ssh.tar.gz ! chmod 700 /root/.ssh
• add your git server e.g gitlab as a ssh known host
  ! ssh-keyscan gitlab.com >> /root/.ssh/known_hosts
  ! chmod 644 /root/.ssh/known_hosts
• set your git account
  ! git config --global user.email "email"
  ! git config --global user.name "username"
• finally connect to your git server
  ! ssh git@gitlab.com

4) Authenticate your private repository

5) Use ! git@gitlab.com:{account}/{projectName}.git
note: to use push, you have to give write access for
the public ssh key that you authenticate git server with.

I think the folowing code would do the trick

!git clone https://github.com/your_github_username/your_github_repo_name.git
