I needed to write this down and share this because for a while it was getting to me that I was unable to connect my GitHub repositories to cPanel with SSH. I was using HTTPS which was working but if you want to access a private repository on GitHub follow these steps and you should be able to access this.

As a young developer, I have been utilizing the fetch function quite often while learning JavaScript. I am very grateful to have such a great function that makes my life, and millions of developers lives much easier.
