Git push requires username and password

Question

I cloned a Git repository from my GitHub account to my PC.

I want to work with both my PC and laptop, but with one GitHub account.

When I try to push to or pull from GitHub using my PC, it requires a username and password, but not when I'm using the laptop!

I don't want to type my username and password every time I interact with origin. What am I missing here?

You need to register the pubkey with your Github account (github.com/account/ssh) and configure your SSH client to use the right username. — jwodder

No need to switch over to ssh anymore. It's possible with HTTPS too. Check my answer. — Varun Achar

I prefer using an encrypted netrc.gpg in which I can store all my credentials for https remote repo. And that works well with the new GitHub two-factor authentication! — VonC

Check your git version and update. Then will fixed the issue

$ git update-git-for-windows

Update note : we can use this when your PC git version and server git version mismatched.

This command doesn't work for me at all. No such command.

This worked only the windows 10 and that server git version miss with your computer version.
