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

Question

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.

Answer 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:

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=git@github.com/derekerdmann/lunch_call.git. that is, change all the texts before @ symbol to ssh://git
4. Save config file and quit. now you could use git push origin master to sync your repo on GitHub
