github - 在使用http协议时，git clone操作需要进行输入密码验证吗？

Question

我在Github官方的帮助手册上看到了这句话：

When you git clone, git fetch, git pull, or git push to a remote repository using HTTPS URLs on the command line, you'll be asked for your GitHub username and password.
当你在命令行中使用HTTPS的URL来对远程仓库进行git clone, git fetch, git pull, 或者 git push操作时，你会被要求输入Github的用户名和密码。

但是实际上我在git clone(使用http协议)从来没遇到过要求输入用户名和密码，难道是帮助文档写错了吗？

NOTE:本问题源于本站的另一个问题，我在回答其他人的问题时，突然想到了这个问题。

Answer 1

It is very likely that you have entered it before
Because I have encountered it before and had to enter the account number and password
I don’t know what the situation is on your side
I didn’t enter it again when I submitted it

Answer 2

If the project is open source, you do not need to enter the username or password when executing git clone. You will only be asked to enter the account password when submitting the code after modifying the project.
