Answer 1

If you're on a shared machine, using your own password or passwordless private key might be overkill. The safer option is an access token:

1. Go to Settings, Developer Settings, Personal access tokens
2. Generate new token.
3. Note what the token is for.
4. Grant repo access.
5. Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://<token>@github.com/<user>/<repo>.git

If you've already cloned the repo, you could just modify your remote setting:

$ git remote set-url origin https://<token>@github.com/<user>/<repo>.git
$ git pull
Already up to date.

Answer 2

Your git URL might have changed. Change the URL in the local directory by using the following command

git remote set-url origin git@yourGitUrlHere

Answer 3

Try https instead of ssh. Choose the https option from project home page where you copy the clone url from.
