Trouble cloning joycond for NS controller

[lebonhomme]

Hi everyone,

I'm not providing here "details on my system", as asked in forum rules, because I dont think it's relevant in my case, I think I just dont understand how Github actually works.

I'm trying to make my NS Joystick on my retropie Raspberry Pi Zero W. So I follow the official guide here: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Switch-Controllers/

RetroPie-Setup doesnt include NS drivers so the guide is terminal-apt-get-based.

However when I type "git clone https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond.git", I face to incredible security issues for "just cloning" a repo. Firstly it prompts a username and password, making me to create an account on Github. But when I type it, it tells that "Support for password authentication was removed on" blablabla [...] redirecting me to https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories#cloning-with-https-urls. I'm not used at all with all that Github things, but I created 2 tokens (1 fine-grained and 1 classic) and I tried both instead of my password when I try to clone... And then it simply tells "Repository not found" wereas this repo ofc exists. I'm so confused! Why is it so hard? For information, I didnt know what permissions to put on the tokens so I took them all, is that the problem? If so, what token must I generate and with wich configuration? Do I need to use an other way to clone than command-line git?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Best regards,
A random retro player.

You most likely mis-spelt the repository name/the URL, GitHub will prompt you for user/pass since it thinks you're trying to access a private repository. There's no need to create a user/pass for Github to clone that repository, in fact I just did it and it didn't asked me for user/pass.
