I want to commit the work done in my local repo but when I am committing TortoiseSVN asks for the credentials.
I am giving GitHub username and pasword, but TortoiseSVN asks for credentials again and again. Can somebody advise?
I reinstalled TortoiseSVN and also tried clearing the authentication data in saved data submenu.

I had the same problem today. It looks like the simple authentication has been disabled so you need to setup a Personal Access Token via GitHub.
Generate a new one, give it a name and then select all the rights you need. Then click Generate Token. Once saved copy the long string i.e. aae75c805fa8eea8d3e322781bc2010224e0934d and use this as both username and password when using TortoiseSVN.

If it is asking for credentials when committing it probably wants your local machine’s credentials. Why? Unsure. But none of this sounds like your Git credentials are needed. – JakeGould – 2019-08-04T15:03:14.827
I tried with my system's password , still did not work. – Vikki – 2019-08-04T16:33:12.557
Have you managed to find username and password that work? If the problem is that it doesn't save Authentication data, try in TortoiseSVN settings > Advanced to set AllowAuthSave. – harrymc – 2019-08-04T17:38:03.200
