What happened

Whenever multiple github tokens are provided the gitextractor plugin starts to fail with following error

in failed: Cloning into bare repository '/tmp/gitextractor3209794320'... | remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. | remote: Please see https://docs.github.com/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories#cloning-with-https-urls for information on currently recommended modes of authentication. | fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/dreamplug-tech/caterpillar.git/' Error types: (1) *hintdetail.withDetail (2) *errors.errorString

If only keep one token it works correctly

What do you expect to happen

Gitextractor plugin should work correctly with multiple tokens

How to reproduce

Add multiple github tokens while setting up git connection and use github for gitextractor

I found a similar unsolved discussion titled "Gitextractor failing with multiple github tokens" which might be relevant to your issue ^[1]. Additionally, there was a closed issue titled "[Bug][Module Name] Auth Token Connection Failed.](#2576)" but it does not contain comments or a solution ^[2].

The Gitextractor plugin is expected to handle multiple GitHub tokens by speeding up the data collection process. Each token should be from a different GitHub account, not from the same account ^[3]. If you're encountering issues, it might be worth checking if the tokens are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions.

Can't reproduce.

According to the code https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/b34d5258dee9d6703df6d2915703323fdaa6c1b5/backend/plugins/github/api/blueprint_v200.go#L126
It would always pick the first token for collecting git data.

The error message you posted contains "remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021"
Not sure if this is the root cause of your problem

I encountered a similar issue some time ago, are you using fine grained tokens and is your org using SAML SSO?

We are facing the same issue, when adding multiple github tokens, the collect process starts to failed with the same error message as khalibartan shared.

Were any of them fine-grained tokens?
