Make sure the password is actually correct, I know it sounds like a stupid advice but I did have this issue myself before 😃. Also, if you are using 2FA with GitHub, you cannot use the actual password from remote, you need to create an Access Token and use that instead of your password.

Did you follow these steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avcGP0FAzB8 (interface slightly different now)? Are you getting any error messages?

That error means you are using wrong credential or wrong repo:

1. Username needs to be the user, not the email
2. Ensure you provide the proper password. If you have 2FA enabled on GitHub, you need to make sure you create an Access Token with proper access permissions and use the token as password instead.
3. Repo format is: https://github.com/<user>/<repo>.git

403 means GitHub is not granting you access so one or more of the 3 things above are the problem

Problems:- remote: Permission to UserName/repo.git denied to AnotherUserName. fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/UserName/repo.git/’: The requested URL returned error: 403

Solutions You can solve this problem by using lots of methods. But below simple method is written which helps you to solve these issues.

step 1: go to control panel step-2: then go to user accounts step 3: After that go to credential manager step 4: then Windows credentials step 5: go to Generic credentials step 6: finally delete the Github keys.

After done above all the steps then use the push command ->git push -u origin master

After that, you would see a GitHub login form windows will appear. Then you need to log in with your GitHub email and password. After login, you can use push command it will 110% work.

Hi @Amina-Zafar , it depends on the Git-based service you are using. For example, with GitHub you could create a token at https://github.com/settings/tokens

For those whose problem is not solved in this way… I strongly recommend to check that you have the permission to push to the repo. To make sure, ask the repo’s admin to give you the WRITE permission in the ‘Manage Access’ section of the repo’s settings. Hope this works for you.
