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

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
