I am able to push to remote with this piece of code 

return git.push().setCredentialsProvider(new UsernamePasswordCredentialsProvider(user, password)).setRemote("origin").call();

I also am able to get oauth access token with all necessary scopes. How do I push with access token?

You need to pass a UsernamePasswordCredentialsProvider with the token as its user name.

String remoteUrl = "https://${token}@github.com/user/repo.git";
CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new UsernamePasswordCredentialsProvider("${token}", "");
git.push().setRemote(remoteUrl).setCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider).call();

The above can at least be used to authenticate with a GitHub repository. Though, I can't say if this scheme works generally.

    turns out it is sufficient to include the token in the credentials provider. There is no need to reformat repository url. But anyways it works. – user1745356 Jan 23 '15 at 15:03

  • @RüdigerHerrmann I also have similar question which is using `jgit` [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28380719/how-to-use-jgit-to-clone-the-existing-repositories-to-new-github-instance). If possible, can you help me out? Started learning `jgit` today so got stuck. Any help will be greatly appreciated. – john Feb 07 '15 at 10:07

    @RüdigerHerrmann Did anyone test this for `git push`? I get back just `not authorized` when trying to push a tag I created. Also in the github URL do you need to substitute the `user/repo.git` part with the actual name/owner of the repo? – sydd Aug 04 '15 at 18:12

    @sydd yes, this works for the `PushCommand` and yes you need to supply the actual username/repo. – Rüdiger Herrmann Aug 05 '15 at 10:55

    This approach is not working for bitbucket. Any idea on how to connect to bitbucket using token? – Santosh Sawant May 20 '20 at 14:39
