I initialized a repo in my GitHub. I issued a git clone command. I went to the directory in my local computer where I wanted to clone the repo. Then I copied some files in my local drive. Then I did:
git add .
git commit
git push -u origin master
The message appeared:
remote: Permission to jasonkid1/testuli.git denied to jpamittan.
fatal: unable to access
'https://jasonkid1#github.com/jasonkid1/testuli.git/': The requested
URL returned error: 403
How can I fix this?
For any https authentication issue, you need to check your credential caching:
git config credential.helper
That is:
On Windows, for instance, you would need to open the Windows Credential Manager and check the right password was entered.
On Mac, you would need to update the OSX keychain.
You might have credentials for any github.com URL associated to jpamittan (wrong user) instead of jasonkid1.

I'm an absolute beginner. What the hell am I doing wrong?
I was following along a tutorial and they lost me.
Based on my understanding, I can see that you may haven't setup the origin remote URI. To fix that issue, you'll need to follow these steps.
Logging into git (If you aren't already)
Run these commands to set your display name and email when pushing:-
$ git config --global user.name "Your name here"
$ git config --global user.email "your_email#example.com"
Using HTTPS access method (recommended)
Using GitHub CLI, you can run $ git auth login and follow the steps to login.
Or if you're using GCM (Git Credential Manager)* refer to this article by GitHub
* GCM is another way to store your credentials securely and connect to GitHub over HTTPS. With GCM, you don't have to manually create and store a personal access token, as GCM manages authentication on your behalf, including 2FA (two-factor authentication).
Using SSH access method
If you clone with SSH, you must generate SSH keys on each computer you use to push or pull from GitHub. For more information, see "Generating a new SSH key."
Setting up your repository
** Make sure to run these commands inside your git environment and not globally.
#Set a new remote
git remote add origin github.com/example/example.git
#Verify new remote
git remote -v
Basically, a common cause for an error after following these steps is cloning using HTTPS method instead of SSH. You can correct this by going to your repository, clicking "Clone or download", then clicking the "Use SSH" button above the URL field and updating the URL of your origin remote like this:
$ git remote set-url origin git#github.com:ex-user/example.git
And that forces the source to be SSH.
If this still gives you an error, please refer to this answer.
For more help, refer to this document.
git config shows correct user name and email and yet I cannot ever git push to my own repo on GitHub. It always says some old username that was used
git config user.name mqshaikh8
git config user.email mqshaikh8#gmail.com
git push origin master
remote: Permission to mqshaikh8/amigo.git denied to kshaikh99.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/mqshaikh8/amigo.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
git remote --v
origin https://github.com/mqshaikh8/amigo.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/mqshaikh8/amigo.git (push)
It happened to me quite a bit, mostly after a typo in my password and couldn't ever type a password again.
Usually installing git bash again over the old installation fixes the problem.
If you're using the default settings/windows credentials the please see this github issue on git for desktop to help you on this matter.
This SO post on how to remove git credentials might also help.
Finally what worked is the following:
I was logged into windows as kshaikh99. Since git integrated with windows credential manager, it had cached the kshaikh99 username and password and regardless of what's in git config user.name and user.email, it always used that credential to authenticate and that's why it was failing.
I just signed off and signed into windows as mqshaikh8. Then when I tried to git push origin master, I got a windows credential dialog box to enter my mqshaikh8 username and password. I entered that and it works with no issues.
I am getting next error:
$ git push -u origin master
remote: Permission to teddyruns/medals.git denied to franciswebdevelopment
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/teddyruns/medals.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
I have checked my global user name and email, and created a new ssh key, but franciswebdevelopment is my old account,
I have no idea why I can't push to my new account,
Does anybody have any idea where I am going wrong?
but franciswebdevelopment is my old account
That means you probably have a git crendential helper which has cached the credentials franciswebdevelopment for github.com.
git config credential.helper
If that is the case, remove that entry:
git credential-manager delete https://github.com
Then try again (but not right now, with HTTPS or SSH, because GitHub is experiencing a major outage)

I already made a repository in github as wordpress-template.
I created a .git repository locally, added some files there, and committed it.
Then I created a remote as origin and give it the url of the github repository as:
git remote add origin git#github.com:squalporeover/wordpress-template.git
Now I want to push my master branch to that repository. I ran the following command:
git push origin master
But it shows:
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
It looks like you added the SSH version of the remote URL. In order to use this you need to set-up Github with SSH.
Otherwise use the HTTPS version of the clone URL which will ask for your username and password:
You need to use ssh-keygen to generate an ssh key pair.
See: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/
Duplicate found here: Git - Permission denied (publickey)
This worked for me:
Step 1- git remote rm origin
Step 2-select the http option in github
step 3- run the following command again
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourdirectory/link.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
I have created a repository on github named pygame. Created a clone and added files and commited.but when I attempt to push I receive the following error:
git push -u origin master
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing https://github.com/amalapk/pygame/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
I can ssh to git#github.com and receive the notice that I logged in successfully, but can't push to my repository.
I recently experienced this problem when setting up a new clone of my github project.
You need to include your username in the URL to your project, in the form
https://user#github.com/project/...
For example, the URL provided for my test github is this:
https://github.com/jdblair/test.git
If I add my username to it, like this, then I'm able to push and pull from github with no problem:
https://jdblair#github.com/jdblair/test.git
It is easiest to use the URL that contains the username starting from when you clone a project.
You can change the URL for an existing project like this:
git remote set-url origin https://user#github.com/project/foo/bar.git
You can use the ssh authentication instead if you want, but that's a separate setup process.
Github now is asking us to use git 1.7.10 or later:
https://help.github.com/articles/error-the-requested-url-returned-error-403
The GitHub Remote page mentions the read/write addresses for a repo:
Make sure your clone address is like:
https://github.com/username/yourRepo.git
And that you have defined:
git config --global user.name "Firstname Lastname"
git config --global user.email "your_email#youremail.com"
Should you use a git address (without ssh), you would also need:
git config --global github.user username
git config --global github.token 0123456789yourf0123456789token # no longer needed
(with your token coming from “Account Settings” > Click “Account Admin.”)
Update 2013: you still can generate a token (see "Creating an access token for command-line use"), but you would use it as a password for https url.
Actually, if you activate the 2FA (two-factor authentication) mechanism on GitHub, you will need a token for your https url (because your regular password would trigger the second-step verification).
See "Configure Git clients, like GitHub for Windows, to not ask for authentication"
See more at "Which remote URL should I use?".
It's all in the remote.
Change your current remote from https://github.com/amalapk/pygame.git to git#github.com:amalapk/pygame.git and enjoy.
To do this... (assuming your current remote is called origin)
git remote set-url origin git#github.com:amalapk/pygame.git
In my case getting rid of such error message was resolved this way:
Person was simply added to github repository as a colaborator.
Thats it - error vanished magically.
Committing to github from server this is what worked for me in the terminal or git bash
To create a remote to github.com try:
git remote add origin https://put your username here#github.com/put your git username here/put your repository name here
To change the remote just do:
git remote set-url origin https://put your username here#github.com/put your git username here/the name of your repository here
Please follow the instructions on http://help.github.com/create-a-repo/
You have cloned your repository with the public read only url.
