Question

Body

Just created a new token and tried to use it

Username for 'https://github.com': *******
Password for 'https://*******@github.com':
remote: Write access to repository not granted.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/mcwg/SINGLE/': The requested URL returned error: 403

What does this tell me???

Hii! Is this repo yours? If not, thast means that you don't have write access to make some changes on it, so in this case, the owner should add you as a collaborator!!

Since this was reported first, #113396 may be a duplicate of this question.

I‘m experiencing a very similar problem with a forked repo:

remote: Permission to ousia/plato_dialogues_benjamin-jowett.git denied to ousia.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/ousia/plato_dialogues_benjamin-jowett.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I’m the owner and I though it was taken for granted that owners are given full access to their repos.

Sorry, but what am I missing here or which is my stupid mistake?

Many thanks for your help.

Make sure you are able to write to the repository. You either need to be the owner or a collaborator. If this is your repo and it's not working, comment here. If this isn't your repository, reach out to the owner and asked to be added as a collaborator if this is something you think that's required (ie. you need to be able to create tokens for the repo).
