How to change Github local repo .git/config credentials to circumvent 403?

I'm trying to push to my remote Github repository from my work PC that has other credentials set up and this is what I get:

remote: Permission to *** denied to ***.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/***': The requested URL returned error: 403

I tried changing .gitconfig but it didn't help.

I suspect VS code is somehow remembering the work credentials but I'm unable to find where is it.

Found an answer here. At the end, it wasn't about resetting VS code credentials.

Find .git/config file under your repo directory and under section [remote "origin"] change the url from

https://[email protected]/my-username/my-repo.git

to

ssh://[email protected]/my-username/my-repo.git.

After that, I was able to push upstream with no problems. I don't quite understand why, but it works.
