Prefect Community

Hi!

When using the Github storage block to connect to a private repo (using Prefect version 2.6.6), I get a password related error (details in the first reply) when running a flow, what am I doing wrong?

I've generated a PAT in Github and have given it access to the specific private repo and have given it Content permission (is that the right one?). I added the PAT together with the <https://github.com/{User}/{Repo}.git> url to the Github block and left the reference field blank.

```Flow could not be retrieved from deployment.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/prefect/engine.py", line 255, in retrieve_flow_then_begin_flow_run

Apparently I was using Github Fine-Grained Access tokens (beta) instead of the classic tokens. When I used the classic token with repo scope, it did work.
