It would automatically ask you for your username and password for GitHub. After entering the details, go to GitHub and refresh. The files would get added there.

Username for 'https://github.com' your_username

Password for 'https://your_username@github.com' : *******

But GitHub is no longer accepting account passwords when authenticating Git operations. You need to add a PAT (Personal Access Token) instead, and you can follow the below method to add a PAT on your system.

Create Personal Access Token on GitHub

From your GitHub account, go to Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Token → Tokens (classic) → click Generate token (classic)→ Fillup the form → Copy the generated Token, it will be something like ghp_sFhFsSHhTzMDreGRLjmks4Tzuzgthdvfsrta
