Answer 1

There can be multiple causes for this error. Try following in the order mentioned

1. Include your username in the repo url

git clone https://username@github.com/thoughtcastapp/git.android.ThoughtCast.git/

2. Identify remote git repository to your terminal.

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/thoughtcastapp/git.android.ThoughtCast.git/

3. Uninstall the git credentials manager and reinstall (for cmd, run as administrator)

$ sudo git credential-manager uninstall
$ sudo git credential-manager install

4. If repo has been created by another user, check if you have read-write access.
