Even since I enabled the 2 factor authentication on GitHub, I am using the developer personal access token (PAT) for pushing the code.

The normal steps (please ignore the numbers in the beginning of each line):

  514  git remote remove origin
  515  git remote add origin https://my_developer_personal_access_token@github.com/major1xu/myNestEgg.git/
  516  git remote -v
  517  git push
  518  git push --set-upstream origin master

This works for both the public and private repo. I’m thinking another way to do it is when using “git clone” to begin with, we use the PAT. I am going to try it next time. Note I created the repo in the GitHub website first.
