I came across this same problem  and the above answer didn t work for me because github was being fed my credentials through windows credential manager instead of git bash   You may have to check windows credential manager and delete the github entry under control panel  gt  user accounts  gt  credential manager  gt  Windows credentials  gt  Generic credentials

Remove your SSH keys from    ssh  or where you stored them    Remove your user settings   git config --global --unset user name git config --global --unset user email git config --global --unset credential helper   Or all your global settings   git config --global --unset-all   Maybe there s something else related to the credentials store  but I always used git over SSH
