To access a private repository in YAML (repos.yaml) on GitHub, you need to set up your repository with a personal access token for authentication. Here's how you can do it:

1. Generate a personal access token for your GitHub account by following these steps: Go to your GitHub account settings Click on "Developer settings" from the left sidebar Click on "Personal access tokens" Click on "Generate new token" Give your token a name, select the scopes or permissions you want to grant, and click on "Generate token" Copy the generated token as it will not be visible again
2. Add the personal access token to your repos.yaml file in the following format:

1
2
3

repositories:
  - name: private-repo
    url: https://<username>:<personal_access_token>@github.com/<username>/<private_repo>.git

1. Replace
2. Save the repos.yaml file with the updated URL.
3. Now you should be able to access the private repository in your YAML file by using the URL format specified in step 2.

Please note that storing personal access tokens in plain text files like repos.yaml can be a security risk, so make sure to keep your token secure and avoid sharing it with others.
