Write access to repository not granted

I connected to the git-repository with a command:

git clone https://<username>:<token>@github.com/<organizationname>/<repo>.git

And now when I try to do the command:

git push -u origin <branch-name>

to upload the branch to publish

This is the error I get:

remote: Write access to repository not granted.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/<organization-name>/<repo>/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I didn't create the repository, so I don't have access to the settings, etc.

How can it be fixed anyway?

Solution

  • Only the repository owner can grant you to push.

    Else you should fork the repo, work on a new branch, then issue a merge request.
