GitCommandError: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(1), pygithub

Question

I am trying to automate the process of cloning, adding a few files to the local clone, and then pushing the update to the cloned repo. I expected this code to push my commit to the cloned repo in GitHub, but When I try pushing I keep getting this error.

My code

from github import Github
from credentials import username, password
import pygit2
from git import Repo
import shutil
import subprocess

name = input("Name of iOS project: ") # repo name
description = input("github description: ") 

def createGithubRepo(name, description):
    g = Github(username, password)
    gituser = g.get_user()
    repo = gituser.create_repo(name) 
    repo.create_file("README.md", "init commit", description)
    return repo.git_url 

def clone(url, destination):
    repoClone = pygit2.clone_repository(url, destination)
    repoClone.remotes.set_url("origin", url)
    return repoClone


def basicPushToGithub(pathToRepo, commitMessage, paths):
    repo = Repo(pathToRepo)
    repo.index.add(paths)
    repo.index.commit(commitMessage)
    repo.git.push()

createGithubRepo(name, description)
url = 'https://github.com/<userpath>/'+name+'.git'
repoClone = clone(url, destination)
basicPushToGithub(destination, 'Project added', [destination + name])

Error Readout

I've tried passing different arguments to the push method, but I still get the same error. If there is a .. being added to the commit, I'm really not sure why that is happening, nor what I can do about it.

It looks like `` was never substituted with a real username. The presence of `` without any formatting in your code snippet is suspicious also — causaSui, May 17 '20 at 22:35
Unfortunately it’s the opposite, this is my sanitized version. I put that in there to try to signal what needs replacing. — ScottyBlades, May 17 '20 at 22:52
