Answer 5

If you are using github and have enabled 2 factor authentication, you need to enter a Personal access token instead of your password

First reset your password:

git config --global --unset user.password

Then, log to your github account, on the right hand corner, click on Settings, then Developer Settings. Generate a Personal access token. Copy it.

git push

The terminal will prompt you for your username: enter your email address.

At the password prompt, enter the personal access token instead.

Answer 6

I was pushing into the repository for the first time. So there was no HEAD defined.

The easiest way would be to:

git push -u origin master

It will then prompt for the password, and once you enter that it will be saved automatically, and you will be able to push.
