Cannot clone github repo without being logged in as root, regardless of sudo
Running on OSX ->
git clone https://github.com/.../project.git
Cloning into 'project'...
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/.../project.git/' not found
...:repos ...$ sudo git clone https://github.com/.../project.git
Cloning into 'project'...
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/.../project.git/' not found
...:repos ...$ sudo su
sh-3.2# git clone https://github.com/.../project.git

Another weird thing about this is that this is a private repo and it does not ask for my password when I'm root. I assume it is stored somewhere.
EDIT : the solution is to delete the existing keychain element in the osx keychain
您必须在osxkeychain中删除您的github凭证，然后才能重新创建它们。
I think you are still logged but not with the good account for accessing to your project. For that reason, github doesn't ask you your credential (username/password) and fail when trying to access to your project.
So, if credential.helper is set with osxkeychain you can reset your GitHub element in the osxkeychain . Credential helper is used for remembering GitHub credentials. Especially, on Mac OSX 10.7 and above, osxkeychain helper is automatically included in your Git installation.
Then you can also do not use the osxkeychain credential helper by unsetting it:
git config --global --unset credential.helper
(--system should be unset if your credential helper is set here)
Otherwise, if you have already not credential.helper set You should unset github.user and github.token
$git config --global --unset github.user
$git config --global --unset github.token
