It's because you are using https:// which requires a password not the git:// URL which uses your SSH key.

You have added remote with https url syntax:

git remote add origin https://github.com/zoliky/abctest.git

While if you want you ssh key to be used, you should use ssh url syntax:

git remote add origin git@github.com:zoliky/abctest.git

Now to change that, do this:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:zoliky/abctest.git
