I am seeing following prompt every time , i want to avoid asking for prompt instead it should push directly to remote repo with out prompt, please suggest

[twenysx]

You can avoid it either by switching to SSH key's or by using a Git Credential Helper for HTTPS ;)

I would like to use Git Credential Helper , can you provide more details on this on how to implement

[twenysx]

its more complicated actually but if u want it u can just use a credential manager included with your operating system, for win u can use Windows (Git Credential Manager) using this cmd: git config --global credential.helper manager-core
(You'll be prompted once to enter your USER and your PAT ,to securely store this PAT for future pushes.)

I tried to execute command you have given but it did not prompt for anything. Can you please suggest what to do here ?

and mine is windows machine, do i need to add anything in git credential manager? if yes where and what needs to be done

[twenysx]

the command is meant to set the configuration, not trigger the authentication. the prompt only appears when Git actually needs credentials. there's a solution but its seems more risky u'll need to manually delete any stored GitHub login information to force the system to ask for the new Personal Access Token (PAT).
