Folders/files not updated to Github? - github

Question

I'm still very new to all these so please be patient with me.
I've recently changed my GitHub username and that is when I started noticing this issue: files or folders that are manually created on VS code or in the windows folder don't get uploaded onto GitHub. Whenever I try git add. & commit commands, I get this error message below:
warning: could not open directory '.vscode/': Permission denied
However, if I create a file on GitHub itself, say an index HTML file, it shows up on my windows folder. I can push any changes to this HTML file made on VS code and it shows up GitHub.
I have provided the log below if it's of any help.

Answer 1

If you can fetch but not push, that means your repository is a public one, but your git config credential.helper, probably set to manager (even in your WSL2 Ubuntu session), has cached the wrong credential.
Try and type:
cd /path/to/repo
git remote set-url origin https://<myNewGitHubAccount>#github.com/<myNewGitHubAccount>/myRepo
Then try and push again: a popup should ask for your GitHub Account password (or better yet, for a PAT -- Personal Access Token)
If you go the SSH route, make sure to follow "Connecting to GitHub with SSH
", and check if ssh -Tv git#github.com does end up with a welcome message.
