Let's say my SSH username is mygituser and my password is mygitpass The new password should be mygitnewpass. How do I change my SSH password in Git?

If you lose your SSH key passphrase, there's no way to recover it. You'll need to generate a brand new SSH keypair or switch to HTTPS cloning so you can use your GitHub password instead. If you lose your SSH key passphrase, there's no way to recover it.
I just had to log in using:
ssh my_user@
and write
passwd
so all you will do:
ssh [email protected]
passwd
mygitpass
mygitnewpass
mygitnewpass
I don’t think that Git itself has anything like access control, or users and passwords. These have to do with the “transport layer” that you access your Git remote through. Most often Git uses SSH as a transport layer, so that you’ve got to have an SSH account on the machine hosting the remote and if you want to change your “Git password”, you really want to change your SSH password on that box (or the passphrase of your private key, as Sjoerd points out). In other words, the answer depends on how you access the Git remote.
