Azure CLI: I dont handle protocol

I am trying to install a file from a private repo. I am using azure cli run commands to invoke these actions.

Here is what the run command looks like:

az vm run-command invoke --name ${MONITOR_VM_NAME} \
            --command-id RunShellScript \
            --resource-group ${RSC_GRP_NAME} \
            --scripts "
                        curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash 
                        sudo yum -y install nodejs
                        cd /etc/
                        sudo git clone \${REPO_USER_NAME}:\${REPO_PASSWORD}@https://bar.visualstudio.com/Foo/_git/Eth-Netstats

           "

Unfortunately , I am receving this in the output:

fatal: I don't handle protocol ':@https'

I have looked here:

https://github.com/brackets-userland/brackets-git/issues/965

and

git: fatal: I don't handle protocol '​​http'

but it doesnt seem to help. I would appreciate any pointers on this

The syntax for coding a literal user name and password into an http or https URL is: https://user:password@host.example.com/text?passed&to=host. That is, the user:password part goes after the https:// part, before the host name.

(The above is moved from a comment, and formatted a bit.)

Note that ssh URLs can use a similar form: ssh://user:[email protected]/..., though it's even worse to include a plaintext password in an ssh URL given that ssh works so hard to prevent plaintext passwords. (Plaintext passwords are a bad idea everywhere, but at least with https, one has the excuse that there's less standardization in this area.) But Git has a special form, recognizing user@host:... as shorthand for ssh://user@host/....

Aside: The security concerns I express above are totally blown out of the water with:

curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash

I realize this is a standard way people use to install nodejs (visit https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x to see). I just wish it weren't.
