En example of write authentified git dav virtualhost with gitweb enable that could solve your problem :

        ServerAdmin admin@example.com
        ServerName git.example.com

        DocumentRoot /var/git

        # SSL configuration
        SSLEngine on

        # Fix dav header
        #RequestHeader edit Destination ^https: http: early

        
                DAV on
                Options ExecCgi FollowSymLinks

                # Gitweb config
                AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
                DirectoryIndex .gitweb.cgi
                SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /var/git/.gitweb.conf

                # Basic auth config
                AuthType Basic

                # Auth title
                AuthName "Git repositories"

                # Use file and external providers
                AuthBasicProvider file

                # File location
                AuthUserFile /var/git/.htpasswd

                Require method GET OPTIONS PROPFIND
                
                        Require valid-user
                
        

Then just clone your repository with your user :

git clone https://user@git.example.com/repository

And when you will try to push it will ask your password and provide it.

Placing the password in the clone url is a security bad practice as anyone can read it in your .git/config.
