I had the same behaviour using github token or gitlab token with a private repository on gitlab.com. It works when using global configuration. ### Steps to Reproduce In the terraform code above replace the private repository with any of your private repository and generate a github personal access token with *repo* permission. Instructions [here](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-personal-access-token-classic). 1. Create a new folder: `mkdir test` 2. Copy content from the [code above](#terraform-configuration-files) 3. Replace `arongate/my-private-repository.git` with your repository slug. eg. `/.git` 4. `git init` 5. Make sure you don't have any github.com credentials configured in the `$HOME/.gitconfig` file or in `$PROJECT_DIR/.git/config` file 6. `export GITHUB_TOKEN=` 7. `git config --local url."https://arongate:${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com".insteadOf "https://github.com"` 8. `terraform init`Must ask for username. Do ``` git config --global url."https://arongate:${GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com".insteadOf "https://github.com"` terraform init ``` It would works without asking your github credentials. ### Additional Context Terraform commands are run on a shared machine where multiple terraform project are managed by different users (service accounts). Each user uses its own token to download private modules so I can't use the git global configuration. ### References _No response_ ### Generative AI / LLM assisted development? _No response_
