# Using the Git CLI with SSO configured

## How to use the git cli with Copia when SSO is configured

When you have SSO configured in Copia, you will not be able to directly use the Git CLI without providing credentials, and since a username and password will not be handled through Git to your SSO, it is most common to use a PAT.  

You can setup a [Personal Access Token](https://docs.copia.io/docs/git-based-source-control/getting-started/creating-your-account/migrate#generating-access-tokens) via the Copia docs.  

Once created you can then start to use it via the git CLI, like the examples below:

`git clone https://<PAT>@app.copia.io/<org>/<repo>.git`

`git pull https://<PAT>@app.copia.io/<org>/<repo>.git`
