Make sure the password is actually correct, I know it sounds like a stupid advice but I did have this issue myself before 😃. Also, if you are using 2FA with GitHub, you cannot use the actual password from remote, you need to create an Access Token and use that instead of your password.

I'm having this issue on public repo, which was private before. This means there are no passwords to be entered

You do still a password even if it's public. The authentication is required in order to guarantee you have PUSH permissions.

My bad, I got confused there, I was still required to enter credentials (ofcause)

how can I create an access token

Hi @Amina-Zafar , it depends on the Git-based service you are using. For example, with GitHub you could create a token at https://github.com/settings/tokens

unable to push my code into my current account, getting access denied 403 error. I have tried many options making new repos, by changing drive, even created repo on Bitbucket but still, my repo is associated with my colleague GitHub account. Please guide me how can I resolve this issue?

Did you follow these steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avcGP0FAzB8 (interface slightly different now)? Are you getting any error messages?

I have viewed this video but this is not my problem solution. Actually, my repo is public and my colleague repo is also public. The problem is, I am unable to push my code into my account repo this is the main problem that I am facing. Please help me.

Moreover, when I push my code into GitHub then give the error, 'access denied from my colleague account', which is no more login on my laptop.

This sounds less like a GitSync Plugin issue and more of a Git/GitHub issue... sorry but I don't think I can be of any help with that.

Did you manage to fix this error, Facing the same thing

Have the same issue with my repo. Who managed this or anyone who can help?

That error means you are using wrong credential or wrong repo:

1. Username needs to be the user, not the email
2. Ensure you provide the proper password. If you have 2FA enabled on GitHub, you need to make sure you create an Access Token with proper access permissions and use the token as password instead.
3. Repo format is: https://github.com/<user>/<repo>.git

403 means GitHub is not granting you access so one or more of the 3 things above are the problem

Can anyone please help me ASAP, with below-mentioned error on cmd terminal of vscode while the last step(git push -u origin master) to push my project.

D:\ReactJS Projects\resort>git push -u origin master
remote: Permission to kirtanwadekar/react-beach-resort-recording.git denied to kabir19.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/kirtanwadekar/react-beach-resort-recording.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

403 means credentials errors or that you don’t have permission to push.

same error

The error may be, the computer has saved a git username and password so if you shift to another account the error 403 will appear. Below is the solution
For Windows you can find the keys here:

control panel > user accounts > credential manager > Windows credentials > Generic credentials

Next, remove the Github keys.

In mac
1-In Finder, search for the Keychain Access app.
2In Keychain Access, search for github.com.
3-Find the "internet password" entry for github.com.
4-Edit or delete the entry accordingly.

$ git push origin master

Thank you ILLYAS-DEULECT

Hello,
I personnally solved this problem by doing the following on the command line
git remote set-url origin https://yourusername@github.com/user/repo.git
Best,

Actually, the exact way is git remote set-url origin +your repository URL, I resolved this issue by this way, also thanks

how to resolve this issue in linux

For macOS try this for https problem:
git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain

Then try pull, push and it should ask for username and password.

For Mac

If you have the below setting
git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain

And your credentials are correct in the "Keychain Access" app.

Deleting all the Github internet passwords. Now when you try to push, Git will try to authenticate you again by asking for username/password, or take you to Github auth page.

For those whose problem is not solved in this way...
I strongly recommend to check that you have the permission to push to the repo. To make sure, ask the repo's admin to give you the WRITE permission in the 'Manage Access' section of the repo's settings.
Hope this works for you.

Thank you m-illyas this worked

I cloned a repo, did some edits, and tried to push to my own repo. This gave me the error

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/matterport/Mask_RCNN.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

So I checked

1. git remote -v
2. git remote rm origin

Checked now that git remote -v is empty
Then added the correct URL

1. git remote add origin git@github.com:magedhelmy1/x.git
2. git push -u origin master

Such a solid solution although it didn't work completely for my case I have been trying to push my data to a different account SO in order to solve that.

I had to add two more steps on this solution and it worked just fine.

git config --global user.name "new-name"
git config --global user.email "email for my second account"

and that got it to work for me... am not sure why it didn't work without changing the name and email though.

Please correct the path for windows:

May be, you clone someone else's repo and now you are trying to push that repo into your own account. You will not be able to do that.

In trying to push origin master...
Fatal: unable to access 'https://.../': Failed to connect to GitHub.com port 443: Bad access

Please how can I solve this problem

This was the savage reply. It worked well.

help me fix this err:
remote: Permission to lqcuong021099/dog-cat-mouse.git denied to quoccuong021099.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/lqcuong021099/dog-cat-mouse.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

That error is bad credentials

following @m-illyas steps solved my issue.

while creating personal access token make sure to select scopes.(just selecting repo should be fine)

remove existing credentials in 'windows credentials'

I was getting the same "403 error. Permission to write to gist denied", when trying to clone a gist repo with https.

Repo format is: https://github.com//.git

Here's how I fixed it:

• Created Personal Access Token, as per docs.
• Ticked - gist - Create gists.
• Login - username, which is user, not email (as mentioned above)
• Password - this is the Access token - paste

Now all is working fine. I am able to commit.

El error puede ser que la computadora haya guardado un nombre de usuario y contraseña de git, por lo que si cambia a otra cuenta, aparecerá el error 403. A continuación se muestra la solución
para Windows, puede encontrar las claves aquí:

panel de control> cuentas de usuario> administrador de credenciales> credenciales de Windows> credenciales genéricas

A continuación, elimine las claves de Github.

En Mac
1-In Finder, busque la aplicación Keychain Access.
2 En Acceso a llaveros, busque github.com.
3-Busque la entrada "contraseña de Internet" para github.com.
4-Edite o elimine la entrada según corresponda.

efectivamente esta solución me sirvió....muchas graciassss.

Followed the steps from @LuisMauricioFalla and that worked for me.

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/blablabla/Annotations.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
So I tried it now and got an error like this. In my opinion, the reason for this error is indirectly because the other party does not allow the project.
