I'm trying to set up Visual Studio 2013 to work with a private repository on Github. I get the following error when I try to clone it, or if I clone with Github for Windows and try to push/pull from Visual Studio:
An error occurred. Detailed message: An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Net (Error). Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found).
It works correctly with public repositories, but not with a private one. It also works from the Github for windows client.

In Visual Studio, select Team Explorer from the View menu. In the Team Explorer pane, click the Manage Connections toolbar icon. Click the Connect link in the GitHub section. If none of these options are visible, click Manage Connections and then Connect to GitHub.
Steps to add git credentials in vs codeStep 1: Download git from the official website https://git-scm.com and install it. Step 2: When you're finished installing Git, start Visual Studio Code and verify that Git is now identified. Step 3: Start a new Terminal and configure your 'user.name' and 'user.
With the help of @EdwardThomson I discovered that Visual Studio Git tools is saving credentials to Credential Manager in Windows.
The problem is that it doesn't save it in the Web Credentials category where I was looking for it, but in the Windows Credentials, down in the Generic Credentials group.
This causes problems if you are using multiple private repos with different credentials because you are not prompted again.
You can work around this, if you use the repo url like this: https://username:[email protected]/your_repo_name.
