turns out my problem was in gitconfig file that was resisting attempts to reset to HTTPS from SSH. Have no idea how it got stuck on SSH but I blew away the file in my user/ME folder and copied the file from a machine that worked and now functions as expected. wasted way too much time on this. Git is a great tool but too easy to get in weird states
