I had this issue with EGit and solved it at last. Somehow sometimes things get messed up. If you can not solve it through Eclipse just go to your "git" folder with git bash with Windows. With Linux it is even easier: just open the terminal.

This problem occurs because of username, password, and ssh keys getting messed up. So, use the commands "git remote show origin" and make sure if the origin is username@github.com...... Sometimes Eclipse just puts "git" as a username so make sure you have the correct user name by changing it with the command git remote set-url origin https://usrname@github.com/restofthe url. It should automatically change the configurations in eclipse.

Best...
