I hope someone can help me. I read [documentation](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/projects/#accessing-project-settings) and watched [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bto2rz7bY3g&t=690s) from @knolleary and also read [discussion](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/unable-to-sync-with-github-v2-2-2-docker/59741) here.
I think, I have done all things right. First I tried https. I get a box for login and password. I wrote it right but dont get access. The same work in a browser, also a private browser shell, also here in Node-Red.
Than I generated a ssh-key like in the video and put it do my github. The same - no access. I also tried to clone my project -no access.
The error-message: **Authentication failed**
In the log-file there is nothing to see regarding this problem.
Many thanks

You need to create an access token on github. Enter this as your login, no password required.

Thanks @ghayne - it works!
But I don't understand, why ssh doesn't work. It' recommended from github to use this and not an access token. But for now it works for me :).
