Answer 1

Yes, i could able to resolve this. While pasting the URL -- we should not use the Direct URL from the Browser.

1. Select the Branch which you wanted to get the Clone of.
2. Go to the Repository -- on the Top left corner -- Click on the Icon with three dots(...) called ACTION Menu -- Select Clone.
3. Here you will get an URL with your username.

4. Copy this URL and paste it on the GitBash cmd prompt.

   Ex: git clone https://{username}@{website}.com/1/2/3/4.git

5. Hit Enter.
