How to clone private BitBucket repository in GitHub desktop app

I successfully cloned my private BitBucket repository into the GitHub desktop app, however due to some problems I had to re-install GitHub completely which means I have to clone the repository again. Unfortunately I cannot remember how I did it before and I have tried almost all the instructions I could find through multiple searches.

Supposedly all I had to do was drag and drop the HTTPS clone link of my repository, which appears to work but eventually the sync progress stays stuck and after a long time it errors out, probably because it is a private repository, not public.

How can I clone my private BitBucket repository in my GitHub desktop app?

EDIT: The problem met before was related to file corruption which I discovered on the BitBucket side which is why no matter what I tried it would never work. I'm afraid I haven't found a solution for this so I ended up creating a new repo because I the previous one was still young.

If git clone your repository doesn't work than just download your repository

https://bitbucket.org/Yourname/yourproject/downloads

Unzip it and than link it to the remote by running git init and git remote add origin
