Huh?
GitHub hasn't allowed http pushes with password auth for a while. you need either to do an ssh push or use an api token. yet, anythime you do an http push for the first time, you are prompted for a password. the real reason for this is git, not github
http or https?
doesn't really matter, but https. it's the only endpoint github has available and all http requests get redirected. the reason i say it doesn't matter is that git will prompt you for your password before even trying to communicate with the remote
