$ git push origin main
fatal: HttpRequestException encountered.
An error occurred while sending the request.

How do I handle this issue above.

🔧 Steps to Fix:

1. Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT):

Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens
Click "Generate new token"
Choose the scopes you need (for pushing code, select repo)
Copy the token – you won’t be able to see it again!

2. Use the token when prompted:
   When you push and Git asks:

Username for 'https://github.com':
Enter your GitHub username

Then for:

Password for 'https://github.com':
Paste the token you just generated

Thanks I will try it.

Hi, @Innosa

1. Check Authentication Method – GitHub no longer supports username/password. Use a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead of your GitHub password.

2. Generate a New Token:

   • Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic) or Fine-grained tokens.
   • Generate a token with repo permissions.

3. Update Remote Credentials:

   git remote set-url origin https://<USERNAME>@github.com/<USERNAME>/<REPOSITORY>.git

   When prompted for a password, paste your token instead.

4. Clear Old Credentials (if cached):

   git credential-cache exit
   git credential-manager erase https://github.com

5. Retry Push:

   git push origin main

Thanks I will try it.
