I'm trying to make a github repository on which a group of 4 users can work on at the same time, without having to make a pull request for every push or making a fork every time a change is made.
However, when anyone who isn't the creator (me) adds the remote URL and tries to push to the master branch it denies access to the user, even though the user is added on the github page as a contributor.
To figure this out I told one of the users to fork the repo and add me as a contributor so that I could try pushing new changes, but I'm experiencing the same issue.
I did the following in Git Bash:
$ git clone https://github.com/Diseasedfire/AlaBonteKoe.git

(I make edits to the readme)
$ git commit -a -m "test remote commit"

Is it possible to push changes to the repo as a listed contributor without having to create pull requests?
It absolutely is possible!
I would recommend using the SSH protocol to clone the repository. That way your are using you ssh keys to authenticate instead of http basic authentication.
$ git clone [email protected]:Diseasedfire/AlaBonteKoe.git
See the documentation on Github as well.
