So I decided to do it the "proper way" but still - to no avail. Here is what I do and also it's visible what is wrong: # Display remote URL petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git remote -v origin    git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy (fetch) origin    git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy (push) #Now change it to HTTPS instead of SSH petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/grumpy-irc/grumpy # Verify if it has changed petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git remote -v origin    git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy (fetch) origin    git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy (push) It's still SSH.

There is nothing like this in > my ~/.ssh/config Oh you were right I found it in git config --list, removing this from .gitconfig fixed the problem, no idea how did it get in there ```
