Pushing to Git returning Error Code 403 fatal: HTTP request failed

问题

I was able to clone a copy of this repo over HTTPS authenticated. I\'ve made some commits and want to push back out to the GitHub server. Using Cygwin on Windows 7 x64.

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

Also set it up with verbose mode. I\'m still pretty baffled.

回答1:

I just got the same problem and just figured out what's cause.

Github seems only supports ssh way to read&write the repo, although https way also displayed 'Read&Write'.

So you need to change your repo config on your PC to ssh way:

edit .git/config file under your repo directory
find url=entry under section [remote "origin"]
change it from url=https://MichaelDrogalis@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git to url=ssh://git@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git. that is, change all the texts before @ symbol to ssh://git
Save config file and quit. now you could use git push origin master to sync your repo on GitHub

回答2:

To definitely be able 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

Then you'll be asked for a password when trying to git push.

In fact, this is on the http authentication format. You could set a password too:

https://youruser:password@github.com/user/repo.git

You should be aware that if you do this, your github password will be stored in plaintext in your .git directory, which is obviously undesirable.

回答3:

One small addition to Sean's answer.

Instead of editing .git/config file manually, you can use git remote set-url command.

In your case it should be:

git remote set-url origin ssh://git@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git

I find it easier and cleaner, than messing around with dot-files.

help.github.com: Changing a remote's URL

回答4:

Edit .git/config file under your repo directory

Find url= entry under section [remote "origin"]

Change it from url=https://github.com/rootux/ms-Dropdown.git to https://USERNAME@github.com/rootux/ms-Dropdown.git

where USERNAME is your github user name

回答5:

The other answers that suggest switching to SSH sort of miss the point. HTTPS is supported, but you must log in with you GITHUB password, not your SSH passphrase (which was what was giving me the same exact error).

I was having the same problem, but making sure to use my actual GitHub password at the terminal password prompt fixed the solution with no alteration to the config, or resorting to SSH.

The reason it is important to note this, is many public institutions (such as my school) will block SSH, but allow HTTPS (which is the only reason I started cloning over HTTPS in the first place).

Hope that helps anyone else having the same issue...

回答6:

Same error and resolution on Mac OS X.

Everything was working fine till I created a new account on GitHub and tried to push

$ git push -u origin master

And got the error:

remote: Permission to NEWUSER/NEWREPO.git denied to OLDUSER. fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/NEWUSER/NEWREPO.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

It should have fixed by setting the user.name either for global or current repo

$ git config –-global user.name NEWUSER
$ git config user.name NEWUSER

But it didn’t.

I got it fixed by deleting the OLDUSER associated with GitHub from Keychain Access app under Passwords section. Then the push command went successful.

$ git push -u origin master

reference

回答7:

I think @deepwaters got the answer correct for older versions. The HTTPS URL needs to have the username. I had git 1.7.0.4 and git push origin master wouldn't even ask for a password till I added it.

回答8:

This works for me -:

git remote set-url origin https://username@github.com/user/repo.git

Hope it helps

回答9:

If you are using windows, sometimes this may happen because Windows stores credentials for outer repo (in our case github) in its own storage. And credentials that saved there can be different from those you need right now.

So to avoid this problem, just find github in this storage and delete saved credentials. After this, while pushing git will request your credentials ans will allow you to push.

回答10:

Upgrade your git. GitHub has answered this question at https://help.github.com/articles/error-the-requested-url-returned-error-403.

回答11:

A 403 code is "Forbidden". The server saw your request and refused it. Do you have permission to push to that repository?

回答12:

I actually had a very simple fix to this. All i did was edit the git config file differently after cloning the repository. The remote origin url is what you need to edit in your default config file. It should look like seen below

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    url = https://*username*@github.com/*username*/*repository*.git
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master

回答13:

Figured it out. I cloned over HTTPS. Setting up my public SSH keys, cloning over SSH, and pushing over SSH fixed it.

回答14:

Just add you username into url like this : https://islam9@github.com/islam9/bootstrap-rtl

please check: http://islamkhalil.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/github-error-pushing-to-git-returning-error-code-403-fatal/

回答15:

Click on your repository
On the right hand side, click on "Settings"
On the left hand side option panel, click on "Collaborators"
Add the person name you know in GitHub
Click "Add Collaborators"

After this our "Push to Git" worked fine.

回答16:

I faced the same error and the cause was stupid - I did not have privileges to commit to selected repository. I did not know that I have to

fork selected project first
clone repository locally
commit my changes locally
push changes to my github clone
request pull request to upstream

as described in https://help.github.com/categories/63/articles

回答17:

For those having permission denied 403 error while using ssh(according to Xiao) or http urls 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

回答18:

For anyone curious, my mac machine vs lucid vm ran git 1.7.6 vs 1.7.0.4, and the exact same repo was pushable from my mac (newer git) but not the VM

Same curl version. Perhaps some older git versions don't support https pushes?

回答19:

change it from

url=https://MichaelDrogalis@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git

url=ssh://git@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git

It works!

Do not forget the "git" before the "@".

回答20:

Add the user name as part of the URL and This error happens because the git command is hitting http instead of https. So set the url

git remote set-url origin https://<username>@github.com/Path_to_repo.git

After which you will be prompted for password:

回答21:

What worked for me:

My repo was a fork and still linked to the the parents repo.

git remote -v

Will tell you if it is your repo or not.

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/OTHERREPOSITORY.git

Allows you to reconfigure it to your repo and then allow you to push.

回答22:

Do this for a temporary fix

git push -u https://username:password@github.com/username/repo_name.git master

回答23:

None of the above answers worked for my enterprise GitHub account. Follow these steps for pushing via ssh key generation way.

Create a repo by visiting your git account.

Generate ssh key:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"

Copy the contents of the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to your SSH keys in your GitHub account settings. Test SSH key:

ssh -T git@github.com
clone the repo:
git clone git://github.com/username/your-repository

Now cd to your git clone folder and do:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/your-repository.git

Now try editing a file (try the README) and then do:

git add -A
git commit -am "my update msg"
git push -u origin master

Update: new git version seems to recommend not to have any file while new repo is created. Hence make aa blank repo.

回答24:

I figured out my own variation of this problem.

The issue was not changing the protocol from https to ssl, but instead, setting the Github global username and email! (I was trying to push to a private repository.

git config --global user.email "your_github_email_@email.com"

git config --global user.name "Your full name"

回答25:

Github has page dedicated to troubleshooting this error:

https://help.github.com/articles/https-cloning-errors

In my case it turned out that using a new version of git (1.8.5.2) solved this problem.

回答26:

I had this problem right now, and it turned out that my server /etc/resolver.conf file had a bad ip address. Might help others.

回答27:

This happened to me because my coworker accidentially disabled the repository that this repository was forked from. Just might check to ensure that the original git(hub) repo actually still exists.

回答28:

It could be an accounting issue. The Github account of the upstream (private) repo owner may not be financial. I've seen this where the client's credit card expired.

回答29:

what worked for me is changing from http to ssh:

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/repoName.git

then check it with git remote -v

回答30:

I had the same issue. My case was: I'd initialized git repo locally before I created it on github, then I tried to add remote branch. I solved my issue by changing the order of actions: created a repo on github site, then inited it locally. But it's not the case fr them who like to do all from command line as me.
