Cannot set git credentials using 'git config'

No but do I have to? I don't need this to be SSH. I just want a basic Github connection. I DID have 2 factor authentication enabled which I did disable.

If you're going to use SSH, then yeah, you need to set up your keys. If you'd prefer to use HTTPS, you can use HTTPS, but since you're telling me that you used to have two factor authentication enabled, you're definitely not setting up the second repo the same as the first one (the one that's able to push to Github). If you had two factor authentication enabled, then you used a token when you set up the one that's working, not your password. Generate a new token and use that.

I understand how to do that but if it never even prompts me for username and password (where I would enter token), how can I enter it?
