-- `url` needs to be http(s) git url with token/auth in case of private repo.
+- `url` needs to be http(s) git url with personal access tokens without username eg:- http://{{PAT}}@github.com/project/repository.git in case of private repo.
 - add dependencies manually in `apps.json` e.g. add `payments` if you are installing `erpnext`
 - use fork repo or branch for ERPNext in case you need to use your fork or test a PR.
