I found a solution. First, in order to use LibGit2, I had to have a properly generated SSH private–public key pair. I describe the procedure [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/local-registry-rsa-key-problem/78188/5), which is hugely helped by @GunnarFarneback’s analysis on the LibGit2-related issue.

Then, I was able to push commits to the remote Git hosting service simply by

```julia
LibGit2.push(repo; refspecs=["refs/heads/main"])

```

where `main` in `"refs/heads/main"` is my Git branch name to push.
