clone a private git repo

I get an error when trying to clone a private git repo from bitbucket.org.

Public repos from both gitHub and bitbucket work fine.
I do clone over HTTPS:

$ git clone https://[email protected]/username/my_repo.git

When I do this locally, I'm asked for my password and all works fine. On the cloud, it directly fails with the following error:

Cloning into 'my_repo'...
git-remote-https: /lib/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by git-remote-https)
fatal: could not read Password for 'https://[email protected]': Permission denied

(I changed «username» and «my_repo». Just didn't want to publish that here)

Any recommendations?

Maybe you can try cloning using SSH / public key?

I just got an answer from MODX support:

When you're logged into SSH on your Cloud, you can access a private repo by including your username and password in the URL like this:

git clone https://myusername:[email protected]/path_to/myRepo.git

@jeroen Cloud does not yet support ssh pull/push via git. I guess, that rules out using a key.
