From git bash you should prefer to run the command:

git config --global credential.helper wincred

At that point, running a command like git pull and entering your credentials one time should have it stored for future use. Git has a built-in credentials system that works in different OS environments.

You can get more details on the git website Git Tools - Credential Storage.

And you should use git pull before git push if it has been moved to remote server before.

Hope it works!

Check the value of git config credential.helper: if it is "manager", open the Windows Credential Manager and look if you already have a github.com entry.

If not and if the issue persists, try the same command from a regular CMD (not git bash) and the following simplified PATH:

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set GH=C:\path\to\git
set PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%PATH%

(replace "path\to\git" with your Git installation folder)
