Answer 1

The "Invalid remote: origin" exception is a catch all generic exception that doesn't tell you what the underlying cause is.

If you scroll down the stack trace, there's an exception for the underlying problem:

Caused by: org.eclipse.jgit.errors.NoRemoteRepositoryException: http://github.com*******.git: https://github.com*****.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found: Not Found

I think you may need to access GitHub using SSH and setup a public and private RSA key.
