Issues pushing to private git repositories in linux

Question

Hi I have the following git private repo

git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/sescobb27/festinare_api.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/sescobb27/festinare_api.git (push)
ssh git@github.com:sescobb27/festinare_api.git (fetch)
ssh git@github.com:sescobb27/festinare_api.git (push)

but when I try to run git push origin master it says

remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/sescobb27/festinare_api.git/' not found

but if instead I run git push ssh master it works, I don't know what's going on or why is that happening; the weird thing is that the last week they were working.

I'm on xubuntu xfce 14.04LTS

UPDATE

git config --local -l

core.repositoryformatversion=0
core.filemode=true
core.bare=false
core.logallrefupdates=true
credential.helper=store
remote.origin.url=https://github.com/sescobb27/festinare_api.git
remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
remote.ssh.url=git@github.com:sescobb27/festinare_api.git
remote.ssh.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/ssh/*

Answer 1

An https push should ask for your credentials (github login ' escobb27 ', and GitHub password): it should work then.
If it does not ask for credentials, then it might pick some from a credential helper which could cache the wrong credentials.
In any case, a private repo with incorrect credentials will always return " 404: not found ".

An ssh push would work directly because the public ssh key which authenticate you has been added to the private repo on GitHub.

I advised in the comments to try, suspecting some error in the .gitconfig :

git remote set-url origin https://sescobb27@github.com/sescobb27/festinare_api

And the OP confirms:

I already fix it, there was an error in my .gitconfig file, once I fixed it git started working as expected, but the error wasn't obvious

I think the error was indentation and mixed tabs with spaces, but I'm not sure. didn't have vim configured to translate tabs to spaces so that makes the mess.
