How to provide GitHub credentials to containers?

[thevedicdeveloper]

I want to clone a repository from inside the container.

the container is just a basic Alpine image

FROM alpine:latest

Since it's new, I have to install Git first. After doing that, when I try to clone my private repository.

It asks for first user.name and user.email. I provided that as well.

But when I am trying to push, it is saying I am not authenticated.

How can I provide my git credentials to my container? There are a couple of options like gpg key, and access token.
