fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/myrepo/frontend/' After denying git credentials

Question

I was about to push something to my git remote on github. VSCode usually asks me in a popup to do something like allow access to my git. I normally put in my computer password and proceed. But this time I pressed Deny.

Right after, when I tried again to push to the remote I started getting:

Missing or invalid credentials.

Answer 1

Quitting and restarting VSC fixed the issue. It prompted vscode to authorize through github in the browser.
