I know this is not a general help forum, but just to share my piece when dealing with this issue: I had to switch from https to ssh url. This resolved the issue.

You can only push to two types of URL addresses:

  • An HTTPS URL like https://github.com/user/repo.git
  • An SSH URL, like git@github.com:user/repo.git

Git associates a remote URL with a name, and your default remote is usually called origin .

Referred to above link and works (Noted, HTTPS URL required tokens but SSH URL properties won't).
