git push remote: Permission to udacity/course-collaboration-travel-plans.git denied to esmith2678. fatal: unable to access 'https://esmith2678@github.com/udacity/course-collabor ation-travel-plans.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

It's obvious ... you didn't fork the repo to your GitHub account and of course, you don't have the permission to write to the Udacity account...

so, the solution is:

1. Fork the repo and push the changes there, not here.

if you already forked the repo and it didn't work, then try this: git push -f origin master

@esmith2678 Read Lesson 9 from the core curriculum 2. Developer's Tools if you are taking Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree Program ;)

I had the same problem. Would be great, if the description in the Udacity course would be updated.

I agree @HolgerSpernau, the explanation steps need to be updated to make sure everyone forks and then pushes the changes although it might be obvious. Good learning though because this is going to stick better.

Update: the course is meant to be that way to make us realise this. The next question proves it.
