Did you mean to use `git` instead of `github`? – 3ocene Oct 11 '16 at 05:59

Check you git remote -v: it you see https, it is not an ssh url.
Make sure push or pull are using an ssh url with:
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/repo.git
If you are using https, Git will try and use a credential helper: see if git config -l | grep cred returns anything. That would explain the github: command not found part.
If you have, go to your repo and type:
cd /path/to/my/repo
git config credential.helper ""
If your git is recent enough (Git 2.9+), that will prevent any credential helper to be active in your repo.

And what i wanted to do is I just want it to stop displaying this after i use git pull or git push. I'm not really sure what I need to change for this to stop essneitally. – Hongyu Wang Oct 12 '16 at 02:38

@HongyuWang What git config -l returns? Is there any credential.helper in there? – VonC Oct 12 '16 at 06:00

I just used git config --global --unset-all crednetial.helper but the issue still persists – Hongyu Wang Oct 14 '16 at 00:18

@HongyuWang I have edited the answer with a way to desactivate the credential helper. – VonC Oct 14 '16 at 06:07
