This resulted in some magic (a browser window opened for me to login to GitHub to authenticate), after which the push proceeded. I then received an email from GitHub reporting "A first-party GitHub OAuth application (Git Credential Manager) with gist, repo, and workflow scopes was recently authorized to access your account."

Well, it seems that GitHub does not allow username + password
(credentials) auth, but oauth and ssh auth only. On windoze you were
redirected to oauth, but that was no user credentials auth.

Please try using ssh auth as descibed in other reply, this one should
work out of the box on all client platforms and most servers :-)
