I installed the new github CLI in google colab (https://colab.research.google.com/) and authorised.
!sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key C99B11DEB97541F0
!sudo apt-add-repository https://cli.github.com/packages
!sudo apt update
!sudo apt install gh
!gh auth login
!gh repo clone <username/repo>
I get as a response:
Cloning into 'repo'... fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address exit status 128
any ideas why this does not work?
