Asking for password when pushing updates to GitHub

Time:01-04

I initialized a new repository, and pushed my code to GitHub.

After that, I updated my README file and tried to push on GitHub again, but when I did that, it asks me for password, and it didn't asked me for password when I pushed my code to GitHub for first time. enter image description here

I also tried entering my GitHub account password, it fails.
I also tried use the key which I generated as a password, but still no luck.

Can anyone please guide me how to solve this problem?

This is the error which I am getting after entering the password:

CodePudding user response:

For HTTPS URL, you need to use a PAT (Personal Access Token) with scope repo as a password.
And you need to cache it using a credential helper, like Git Credential Manager (cross platform). Once that helper is installed:

git config credential.helper manager

Should you switch to an SSH URL ([email protected]:<me>/<myRepo>), you need, if you have protected your private SSH key with a passphrase, to auto-launch ssh-agent when you start a new session. See "Working with SSH key passphrases".
