I want to sign out an actual user so I can sign in with another user.
What I see in Git bash is:
MINGW64 ~/Documents/NetBeansProjects/ConstructorJava (master)
git push -u origin/master
remote: Permission to Fre1234/ConstructorJava.git denied to Fre123.
Fatal: unable to access https://github.com/Fre1234/ConstructorJava.git/": The requested URL returned error: 403
This question is related to
git-bash
The answer is
Check what git remote -v returns: the account used to push to an http url is usually embedded into the remote url itself.
https://[email protected]/...
If that is the case, put an url which will force Git to ask for the account to use when pushing:
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/<user>/<repo>
Or one to use the Fre1234 account:
git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/<user>/<repo>
Also check if you installed your Git For Windows with or without a credential helper as in this question.
The OP Fre1234 adds in the comments:
I finally found the solution.
Go to:Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Manage your credentials -> Windows CredentialsUnder
Generic Credentialsthere are some credentials related to Github,
Click on them and click "Remove".
That is because the default installation for Git for Windows set a Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows.
See git config --global credential.helper output (it should be manager)
If you want to change the user at git Bash .You just need to configure particular user and email(globally) at the git bash.
$ git config --global user.name "abhi"
$ git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Note: No need to delete the user from Keychain .
For any OS
This helped me so I'll put it here, just in case.
Once you are done with adding the rsa keys for both the accounts, add a config file in your .ssh directory for both the accounts (.ssh/config)
# First account
Host github.com-<FIRST_ACCOUNT_USERNAME_HERE>
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_user1
# Second account
Host github.com-<SECOND_ACCOUNT_USERNAME_HERE>
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_user2
Make sure you use the correct usernames and RSA files. Next, you can open the terminal/git bash on the repository root and check which account you would be pushing from
git config user.email
Suppose this returns the first user email and you want to push from the second user. Change the local user.name and user.email :
git config user.name "SECOND_USER"
git config user.email "[email protected]"
(This won't change the global config and you can have the first user set up as the global user). Once done, you can confirm with git config user.email and it should return the email of the second user. You're all set to push to GitHub with the second user. The rest is all the same old git add , git commit and git push.
To push from the first user, change the local user.name again and follow the same steps.
Hope it helps :)
If the above steps are still not working for you, check to see if you have uploaded the RSA keys within GitHub portal. Refer to GitHub documentation:
Then, clear your ssh cached keys Reference
ssh-add -D
Then add you 2 ssh keys
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_user1
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_user2
Then type in your terminal:
ssh -T [email protected]<SECOND_ACCOUNT_USERNAME_HERE>
You should see the following output:
Hi <SECOND_USERNAME>! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Then, assign the correct remote to your local repository. Make sure you put the same username as the one you gave in your .ssh/config file next to Host. In the following case [email protected]<SECOND_ACCOUNT_USERNAME_HERE>.
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin [email protected]<SECOND_ACCOUNT_USERNAME_HERE>:/your_username/your_repository.git
For Mac Users
I am using Mac and I was facing same problem while I was trying to push a project from Android Studio. The reason for that other user had previously logged into Github and his credentials were saved in Keychain Access.
You need to remove those credentials from Keychain Access and then try to push.
Hope it help to Mac users.

The solution is to delete all the information store in keychain for that process
