remote: Anonymous access to <UserName>/<repo-name>.git denied. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/<UserName>/<repo-name>.git/'

After running the following commands:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/<UserName>/<repo-name>.git/
git push -u origin master
Username for 'https://github.com': <User-Name>
Password for 'https://<User-Name>@github.com':

after entering the correct credentials, im getting the following error:

remote: Anonymous access to <UserName>/<repo-name>.git denied. 
fatal:  Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/<UserName>/<repo-
name>.git/'

any ideas why this happens and how to deal with it?

Check if you don't have a credential helper which could overwrite your login/password:

git config credential.helper

And try the same remote URL withou a final '/'

git remote set-url origin  https://github.com/<UserName>/<repo-name>.git
