Hi,
When I try to get the qt sources from git via
```
git clone https://github.com/qtproject/qt5.git --branch dev
```
and do
```
./init-repository
```
I get asked for my github.com username:
```
Cloning into 'qtnetworkauth'...
Username for 'https://github.com':
```
is this supposed to happen?

@maxwell31 Github is not the official repository. The official one is https://code.qt.io/cgit/
See https://wiki.qt.io/Get_the_Source

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
```
