I had a perfectly working local-remote connection, but after regenerating Github's personal access token my project's git related commands stopped working, as expected.

When typing git pull for example, I was simply getting an authentication error, without opening a prompt for updating the PAT. Also I was unable to update PAT nor on macOS, nor on Windows via their credential managers.

The Git FAQ explains how to reset the credential manager's credentials (substitute user for your username):

$ echo url=https://[email protected] | git credential reject

This will erase the credentials from an existing credential helper, so next time you pull or push, Git will prompt you for credentials again.

Use this command to set a new remote with the updated Personal access token - PAT:

git remote set-url origin https://<githubUsername>:<newlyGeneratedPAT>@github.com/<organisation>/<repositoryName>
