If you encounter the error "terminal prompts disabled" while trying to access a private GitHub repository, you may want to try the following solutions:

1. Make sure that you have the correct permissions to access the repository. You may need to contact the repository owner or administrator to request access.

2. Check if you have set up your SSH key correctly. You can follow the GitHub documentation on setting up SSH keys to make sure that your key is correctly configured.

3. Try accessing the repository using HTTPS instead of SSH. You can do this by changing the remote URL in your local git repository. For example, to switch from SSH to HTTPS, you can run the command:

   git remote set-url origin https://github.com/username/repo.git

   Replace "username/repo" with the correct repository URL.

4. If you are using a terminal emulator that does not support prompts, such as Git Bash on Windows, you can try using a different terminal emulator. Cygwin or PowerShell may work as alternative options.

5. If none of the above solutions work, you can try cloning the repository using the "Clone with HTTPS" option from the GitHub web interface. This will create a local copy of the repository on your machine, which you can then work with as a regular local git repository.
