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 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
