title: How to clone private BitBucket repository in GitHub desktop app
body: <p>I successfully cloned my private BitBucket repository into the GitHub desktop app, however due to some problems I had to re-install GitHub completely which means I have to clone the repository again. Unfortunately I cannot remember how I did it before and I have tried almost all the instructions I could find through multiple searches.</p>
  
  <p>Supposedly all I had to do was drag and drop the HTTPS clone link of my repository, which appears to work but eventually the sync progress stays stuck and after a long time it errors out, probably because it is a private repository, not public.</p>
  
  <p>How can I clone my private BitBucket repository in my GitHub desktop app?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: The problem met before was related to file corruption which I discovered on the BitBucket side which is why no matter what I tried it would never work. I'm afraid I haven't found a solution for this so I ended up creating a new repo because I the previous one was still young.</p>
