I'd try this out from (Pushing to Git returning Error Code 403 fatal: HTTP request failed):

To definitely be able to login using https protocol, you should first set your authentication credential to the git Remote URI:

git remote set-url origin https://yourusername@github.com/user/repo.git

Then you'll be asked for a password when trying to git push.
