You can pipe the output of that curl command to jq and pick out just the events with type PushEvent, like this:

curl \
    -X GET \
    -u $GITHUB_USER:$GITHUB_PASSWORD \
    https://api.github.com/repos/:org/:repo/events \
  | jq '.[] | select(.type == "PushEvent")'

Note that the second | pipe is inside '' single-quotes as it part of the arguments to jq. It is not for the shell.
