Git BASH keeps asking for credentials when I push to new repo

Question

I just created a new repository on GitHub but whenever I try to push from Git BASH to this repo it keeps showing a pop up window asking for my username and then another for my password.

The odd thing is that when I push to any of my existing repositories, I do not have this same problem. I checked the repository settings for my new repos as well as the .git/config file for each and they are the same as for the existing ones.

I am on a Windows 10 machine and have never had this problem in the past when creating new repos. I follow the basic steps listed on when creating a new repo on GitHub for adding the remote and pushing, etc.

I have tried a few things to try and fix this but the outcome doesn't change:

• I have set up a personal access token instead of the old password I was using before.
• I have removed the helper = cache line from my .gitconfig
• I have tested this on multiple newly created (test) repositories and on multiple of my existing repositories. Always, the existing ones work fine and the new ones I need to add credentials.

Any idea what is causing this or how to solve?
