Answer 1

Try and reset the push url to:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/<username>/<reponame>

Replace <username> with your GitHub user account, and <reponame> with your datasciencecoursera repo name.

1. git remote set-url origin https://github.com/<username>/<reponame> 

replace username and reponame then run

Best of luck.
