Thanks everyone.

All your answers helped. I found out that the issue was not related to git.

I am using semantic-release to perform a release, apparently 
git-credentials is not working with semantic-release.

I did also setup the double authentication and every fix applied on 
git-credentials were simply useless.

Thanks a lot for your help and git is the best software ever made thanks!
