Github and Gitlab authentication

Github and Gitlab require a personal access token for authentication. Be sure you are using the proper credentials you'd use to clone the repository on Github/Gitlab.

For more information on creating and using repository access tokens in Bitbucket Cloud, check out the Repository Access Tokens topic set in our support documentation.
