How to pipe text into stdin

I want to do something like

cat "username\npassword" | git push so that git gets the username and password since it expects the first line of stdin as username and second line of stdin as password but it doesnt work.

What am i doing wrong

Git specifically reads from the terminal, it does not just read from stdin (that's why you won't see your password displayed in the terminal). Most applications taht read a password will work like that.

You need to use one of Git's non-interacitve authentication methods.
