git clone by appending app password so don't need to verify always

Assistant

To clone a Git repository using an app password (so you don't have to verify every time), you can embed the username and app password directly in the Git clone URL like this:

git clone https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@github.com/USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git

### Example:

git clone https://neerajtiwari:ghp_YourAppPasswordHere@github.com/neerajtiwari/my-private-repo.git

### Notes:
– Replace `USERNAME` with your GitHub username.
– Replace `APP_PASSWORD` with your GitHub [personal access token (classic)](https://github.com/settings/tokens) or fine-grained token.
– This method avoids interactive login but is **not secure** to use in shared environments or scripts unless encrypted or stored in a secrets manager.

Want to set this up to remember the credentials globally or per repository without exposing in the URL?

HOw to create own sign up newsletter template in sendgrid

Assistant

To create your **own signup newsletter template in SendGrid**, you can either use **SendGrid’s Design Editor** (no-code) or **write your own custom HTML template**. Here's a step-by-step guide for both:

—

### ✅ **Method 1: Create Using SendGrid Design Editor (Drag-and-Drop)**

1. **Login to SendGrid**:
Go to [https://app.sendgrid.com/](https://app.sendgrid.com/) and log in.

2. **Navigate to Templates**:
Go to **Email API** > **Dynamic Templates** (or Marketing > Email Templates for marketing emails).

3. **Create a New Template**:
– Click **“Create a Dynamic Template”**.
– Give it a name like `Signup Newsletter Template`.

4. **Add a Version**:
– Click on **Add Version**.
– Choose **Design Editor**.
– Use the drag-and-drop blocks (image, text, button, etc.) to build your newsletter.
– Include:
– A welcome message
– Optional logo
– A “Verify Email” or “Start Exploring” button
– Social media links, etc.

5. **Save and Publish**:
– Click **Save**.
– Then **Publish** the version to make it live.

### ✅ **Method 2: Use Your Own Custom HTML**

1. **Repeat Steps 1–4 Above**
But instead of choosing **Design Editor**, click **Code Editor**.

2. **Paste Your HTML Code**:
You can paste custom HTML here. Example:

<html>
   <body style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
     <h2>Welcome to Our Newsletter!</h2>
     <p>Thank you for signing up, {{ first_name }}.</p>
     <p>Stay tuned for updates and news.</p>
     <a href="{{ verification_url }}" style="background-color: #007BFF; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; text-decoration: none;">Confirm Subscription</a>
     <hr>
     <p style="font-size: 12px;">You received this email because you subscribed on our website.</p>
   </body>
   </html>

3. **Use Substitution Tags** (like `{{ first_name }}`) if sending via API.

4. **Save and Publish**.

### 📩 **How to Send the Newsletter via API**

Use the SendGrid API to send it. Here's a cURL example:

curl -X "POST" "https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send" 
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" 
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" 
     -d '{
  "from": { "email": "you@example.com" },
  "personalizations": [{
    "to": [{ "email": "user@example.com" }],
    "dynamic_template_data": {
      "first_name": "Neeraj",
      "verification_url": "https://example.com/verify?token=abc123"
    }
  }],
  "template_id": "d-12345678901234567890123456789012"
}'

### ✅ Tips

– Always **test** your template with a test email first.
– You can preview how it looks in mobile and desktop.
– Use **dynamic tags** for personalization.

Not found to add check box in sign up form sendgrid

Assistant

You're right — **SendGrid's built-in signup forms** (especially in the **Marketing > Signup Forms** section) do **not support adding checkboxes** (like "I agree to the terms") through the drag-and-drop interface by default.

But you **can still do it** with the **embedded HTML form approach**.

—

### ✅ **Option 1: Use Embedded HTML Signup Form (Custom Form with Checkbox)**

SendGrid gives you a basic “ HTML code when you create a signup form. You can **manually modify it to include a checkbox**.

#### 🔧 Steps:

1. Go to **Marketing > Signup Forms**.
2. Create a new form or edit an existing one.
3. Under **Embed Options**, click on **"Use your own HTML"** or copy the generated HTML form.
4. Modify the HTML like this:

<form action="https://your-unique-sendgrid-url" method="POST">
  <label>
    Email:
    <input type="email" name="email" required>
  </label>
  
  <label>
    <input type="checkbox" name="consent" required>
    I agree to receive newsletters and accept the privacy policy.
  </label>

  <button type="submit">Subscribe</button>
</form>

> Replace `"https://your-unique-sendgrid-url"` with the actual form action URL SendGrid gives you.

### ✅ **Option 2: Handle via Custom Backend + SendGrid API**

If you want even more flexibility (like storing the checkbox status), you can:
1. Create a **custom signup form** (HTML/React/Vue/etc.).
2. On submission:
– Check if the user **checked the box**.
– Then **call SendGrid’s Marketing API** to add the user to a contact list:
[SendGrid API Docs – Add Contacts](https://docs.sendgrid.com/api-reference/contacts/add-or-update-a-contact)

Here’s a quick PHP example:

if (isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['consent'])) {
    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $data = [
        'contacts' => [
            ['email' => $email]
        ]
    ];

    $ch = curl_init('https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/contacts');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
        'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Content-Type: application/json'
    ]);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
}
