I want to be able to run:

```auto
nextflow pull https://github.com/AI-Digital-Research/targetevaluator

```

which is a private repo in github enterprise

I normally access the github with ssh keys, I dont think there is the option to create an access token.

What bash vars do I need and how do I set up the scm file?

Thanks in advance

Hey, @Sam_Neaves. You will find instructions on configuring your credentials to pull private repositories [here](https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/sharing.html#scm-configuration-file), in the official docs.

It’s basically adding credentials about the SCM provider in the `$HOME/.nextflow/scm` file, like:

```auto
providers {
    github {
        user = 'your-user-name'
        password = 'your-personal-access-token'
    }
}

```

**Pay attention to the green box with instructions for the GitHub token in recent versions of Nextflow 😉**

Thanks for the reply. I found that information but still no luck in getting it to work :S

I get an error:

WARN: Cannot read project manifest – Cause: Remote resource not found:

Please check the discussion [here](https://github.com/nextflow-io/nextflow/issues/4310) and see if you can make it work by using what Trevor did. Then, let me know of the outcome, please 🙂

Thanks for the reply and follow up. I have been taken off working on this for the time being so I have not tried your suggestions.
