hub asking for username and password when used with ssh protocol

[Praveen]

Command attempted:
hub clone dot-files

What happened:
promts for username

More info:
git config --global hub.protocol
ssh

hub --version
git version 2.37.0 (Apple Git-136)
hub version refs/heads/master

OS
macOS 12.6 (21G115)

Giving full URL works fine for e.g. hub clone [e-mail]:metapraveen/dot-files.git clones the repo via ssh auth

hub is failing for me like this, too, anytime I try something that requires authentication. git clone and git push work, but not the hub versions of these commands.

(master) % hub create
github.com username: chaimleib
github.com password for chaimleib (never stored):
Error creating repository: Not Found (HTTP 404)
Not Found

% hub --version
git version 2.38.2
hub version 2.14.2

I've tried both of these:

% git config --global hub.protocol https
% git config --global hub.protocol ssh

I have URL replacement on to force ssh instead of https on github, but both above configs also fail, even if I turn replacement off:

[url "[e-mail]:"]
	insteadOf = https://github.com/

Yeah, hub has not been usable for anything for the last six months. Only auth errors and no prompting to authenticate using browser or similar.

[Baptiste Augrain]

OK It's not just me. Same issue.

Edit: You need to use PAT as password (#2655 (comment))

That is a workaround, not a fix for the broken 2FA handling. A better workaround is to just ditch Hub for the official GitHub CLI, as Hub is essentially deprecated: https://mislav.net/2020/01/github-cli. All of Mislav's efforts go into that these days and I have been able to transition from all current Hub commands to gh very easily (i.e. gh pr checkout <issue>, gh browse, ...)
