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.
RTFM

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.

i spent a lot more time for this, I'm trying push my deleted project that is coming from 1st account github into an existing repository in new another account, but I'm getting error like this :
$ git push -u origin main
remote: Permission to username/project_name.git denied to first_account_username.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/user_name/project_name.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
i tried those command line for push an existing repository in new account, please let me know what'd i miss ?
git remote add origin https://github.com/user_name/project_name.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
Git obviously tries to push code to your new repository using your old username. Add you new username explicitly to the URL:
git remote set-url origin https://user_name#github.com/user_name/project_name.git
Or use the SSH syntax:
git remote set-url origin user_name#github.com:user_name/project_name.git
Question :
$ git push -u origin main
remote: Permission to username/project_name.git denied to another_username
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/user_name/project_name.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
Answer :
Above the Setting icon in visual studio code there will be a Account Sign in logo icon, click and check it is login with another account or not ?
If it is log in with another Account you will be get the same error continuously... So,
The solution is : You should sign out the other Account in the visual studio and then try in visual studio code terminal following code given below...
$ git push
Then it will ask username and password
you should enter the correct details and it will work perfectly.
Just see the same problem and here is my solution:
Before we generate the token. We need to enable some elements of "select scopes in github settings as show below.
I just select several elements and generate key. Therefore I can push the code after fill username and password(generated key).
Check what configuration helper you do have: it might have cached the wrong credentials (from the old users).
git config --global credential helper
Adjust you PATH to use said credential helper.
If you are on Windows, in a CMD, set a simplified PATH like:
set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
set "GH=%ProgramFiles%\Git"
set "PATH=%GH%\bin;%GH%\cmd;%GH%\usr\bin;%GH%\mingw64\bin;%GH%\mingw64\libexec\git-core;%PATH%"
Then type in the same CMD:
printf "Host=bitbucket.org\nprotocol=https\nusername=old_username" | git credential-manager-core erase
Replace:
manager-core by your actual credential helper, as returned by git config --global credential helper
old_username by the old username GitHub account
Then try again.
First check your credentials:
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email
Then change with:
git config --global user.name "email"
git config --global user.email "email#email.com"
If you set another credential before, will have problem
use git config credential.username "username"
I'm a beginner to GitHub.I need to send a pull request to the master branch.
when i typed the code
git push origin master
It gives me the error
fatal: unable to access
'https://github.com/www-prolificme-com/mahawiki/': The requested URL
returned error: 403
Updated
You mentioned you are trying to pull from git but the command is git push. Anyways, most probably you are getting this error because your repo url is not set locally.
If this is the first time you are sending git request from your system, you might want to setup your username by git config --global user.name "John Doe"
If you have already used git on your system, try checking the git configuration on your system using git config --list command to check whether your repo URL is setup or not.
If the url is not setup run git remote set-url origin https://github.com/www-prolificme-com/mahawiki/
Run git remote -v to verify if your url is setup
git add .
git commit -m "your message"
git push origin master
Remove/Update the saved credentials:
Click Start
Search for 'Credential Manager'
Select 'Windows Credentials Manager' > 'Windows Credentials'
Search for the credentials that you want to remove/update
Click on the credential entry > Click 'Edit' or 'Remove'
your repo is not setting locally
so, you seemed crash message
first
git config --list
to showing your git repo set list
and
git remote set-url origin <your git repo address>
to access git repo and git add . to add your files to git container
git commit -m "your git commit message"
this is your git commit message version or anything possible
git push origin master
finally your files pushing on git repo
it's done!
try it
I got this same problem then I try to this below command.
step 1:
git config --global user.email "user email"
step 2:
git config --global user.name "user name"
After running those commands, you can use this command to push your code:
git push origin master
Even if you set all credentials and other setups in the local machine, you might face this problem.
Currently, GitHub uses 'personal access token' so when or after creating personal access token you must check the Select scopes.
You select all you need and then push again.
It will be pushed successfully.
If nothing working please check if you have checked the below checkboxes while creating token
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 followed everything in the GitHub tutorial: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys
I did all the commands in the directory of my repository.
I reached the end of tutorial successfully and got the message: "Hi username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not # provide shell access."
However when I tried to do things such as push it still requested for my username and password.
Check your remotes via git remote -v.
https:// URLs will always ask for a password, unless you configure a credential helper. More info on that in this question.
The simplest solution for password-less git access would be to use the git remote set-url command and set an SSH url for the existing repo.
In your case, git remote set-url origin git#github.com:name/repo.
Then you should be able to git push origin <branch> without being asked for a password.
Good that you have correctly setup your git ssh now you need to reclone the git repository with ssh for example previously you would have done something like this :
git clone https://github.com/dangrossman/bootstrap-daterangepicker.git
this was a https clone now you need to clone with ssh as
git clone git#github.com:dangrossman/bootstrap-daterangepicker.git
you can find the ssh link from your github account same place where you found your https link.
After this you can easily push without your password prompt .
It might though ask for your ssh unlock password. You then need to enter the paraphase you gave during the creation of your ssh key . If you left it blank it might not prompt for it .
I was able to stop the username & password prompt by opening .git/config from the base repo directory and changing the remote URL.
For example:
[remote "origin"]
url = https://github.com/username/my-repo.git
should be changed to:
[remote "origin"]
url = git#github.com:username/my-repo.git
I tried the answer marked as correct but couldn't make it work. This worked for me instead git remote set-url origin ssh://git#github.com/username/reponame
