Hi @damodharanj , for private GitHub repository, you will need to use Personal Access Token for authentication.
Please check this tutorial:

https://github.com/0xGG/welcome-notebook/blob/master/enUS/tutorial.md
https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token

Please make sure you write your Personal Access Token in the Username field but not Password field. Thank you!

I keep getting the same authentication error even with the Personal Access Token with repo permission. Am I missing something ?

Did you grant your Personal Access Token the right permission? Please make sure you have repo checked. For example, below is mine:

Yes I did this!

But now I noticed I am not able to pull from the remote too! I says the same error.

Did you have the CORS proxy set to https://cors.isomorphic-git.org?

It works if I set it in the settings! Figured out just now.

Without having the PAS in the settings if I do it in the push dialog its throwing the error.
