Hello, this is the code i have been using for quite some time to update my project from github, coming back to my project after some months it appears github may have changed their api, as using ghp [email protected] no longer works, it prompts me for a password, and then states Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021.

            src_file = os.path.join(root, file)
            dest_file = os.path.relpath(src_file, 'temp_repo')
            shutil.copy(src_file, dest_file)

    shutil.rmtree('temp_repo')

    print("Repository cloned and files replaced successfully.")
    ```

When an incorrect personal access token is used, I have found that the "Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021" message is sometimes shown, even if the attempted token has the correct form for a PAT, and even if it was a previously issued PAT that can no longer be used.

However, I have not been able to make that message appear with a revoked classic PAT (only with a revoked fine-grained PAT). So maybe something else is going …
