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

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 and will allow you to push.
