You probably need to update the remote URL since github puts your username in it. You can take a look at the original URL by typing

git config --get remote.origin.url

Or just go to the repository page on Github and get the new URL. Then use

git remote set-url origin https://{new url with username replaced}

to update the URL with your new username.
