Password for github when compiling GMIC

I compiled gmic from src under linux about 6-8 weeks ago with no problem but now I’m being asked for a password:

/tmp >>> git clone https://github.com/dtschump/gmic.git && git clone https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt.git &&  make -C gmic/src CImg.h gmic_stdlib.h && cd gmic-qt && qmake HOST=gimp && make
Cloning into 'gmic'...
Username for 'https://github.com':

Is there an answer other than creating an account at github.com?

use the git instead of https.

Unfortunately it’s returning the following:

/tmp >>> git clone git://github.com/dtschump/gmic.git && git clone git://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt.git &&  make -C gmic/src CImg.h gmic_stdlib.h && cd gmic-qt && qmake HOST=gimp && make
Cloning into 'gmic'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 20.248.137.48]: errno=Connection timed out

I’ll try again in an hour or so…

The url for the repo has changed, it is now :

That works!

Thanks, David.
