git - Changed GitHub password, no longer able to push back to the remote

Question

After I changed my GitHub password, I am unable to push to the remote:

$ git push origin master
remote: Invalid username or password.

Is there only re clone the repository?

Answer 1

If you had your remote's password changed only, not the username, then try the following command to check remote's info:-

git remote show origin

This will ask for your password for the given git user, fill that in correctly, and now try:-

git pull

or,

git push

It should work unless you have to change other things like username or remote URL, you can take a look at the following Git documentation:-
