Github: cloning using ssh works, but https doesn't work

Question

admins-MacBook-Pro:Dev sam$ git clone https://github.com/pr.git
Cloning into 'pr'...
fatal: remote error:
  Repository not found.
admins-MacBook-Pro:Dev sam$ git clone [email protected]:pr.git
Cloning into 'pr'...
...
Checking connectivity... done.

As you see, git clone with ssh works, but not with https. How can I make it works with https?

check url

If the url is correct, we can see the page when we enter the url.
check remote repo is private or public

if the repo is a private you can't access or wrong credentials.

Instead of
```
git clone https://github.com/NAME/repo.git
```
url should be
```
git clone https://username:[email protected]/NAME/repo.git
```

I don't think username@password works. It should be username@personal_access_token
