Error Description:
C:\cygwin\home\XPherior\Code\lunch_call>git push
Password:
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing https://MichaelDrog
alis@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
Solution 1:
Github give the idea it supports ssh way to read & write the repo, whereas https way also displayed 'Read & Write'.
- Now you need to change your repo config on your PC to ssh way:
1. Edit .git/config file under your repo directory
2. Find url=entry under section [remote "origin"]
3. Change it from url=https://MichaelDrogalis@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git to url=ssh://git@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git. ie, change all the texts before @ symbol to ssh://git
4. Save config file and quit. You can use git push origin master to sync your repo on GitHub
Solution 2:
- To login using
https protocol,you should first set your authentication credential to the git Remote URI:
git remote set-url origin https://yourusername@github.com/user/repo.git
- Now you'll be asked for a password when try to
git push. - In fact, this is on the http authentication format. Now you have to set a password :
https://youruser:password@github.com/user/repo.git
- You should be aware that your github password will be stored in plaintext in your .git directory, which is undesirable.
Solution 3:
- On behalf of editing
.git/configfile manually, you can usegit remote set-urlcommand. - In your case it should be:
git remote set-url origin ssh://git@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git
Solution 4:
- Edit
.git/configfile under your repo directory - Find
url=entry under section[remote "origin"] - Change it from
url=https://github.com/rootux/ms-Dropdown.gittohttps://USERNAME@github.com/rootux/ms-Dropdown.git - Where
USERNAMEis your github user name
Solution 5:
- When permission denied 403 error while using ssh(according to Xiao) or http urls you can also try these commands
git config --global --unset-all credential.helper
git config --unset-all credential.helper
With administrator rights
git config --system --unset-all credential.helper
