Hi there. I found this thread as I was having the same problem. Git Bash was not asking for user name or password but seemingly stuck in process. I closed git bash, and instead used the command line to go to the git_practice directory, same as in git bash, on the command line and then paste in lines from git hub. I am running Windows 10, and control V will not work for me. For me, simply right clicking pasted all of the info. This is important because when you paste your token its invisible. So right click, which will paste, the git hub info, it will run and ask for 1. an option or 2. your token. Type in 2, then enter. It will ask for your token. Copy your token, then right click in the terminal, and then enter to run, even though it doesn’t look like it pasted it has.
This worked for me. Good luck!
