Because you probably did not identify the remote git repository to your terminal first   git remote set-url origin https   github com MyRepo project git   and then   git add   git commit -m  force push  git push origin master --force

Could happen if you have no write access but only read  If it s a private repository you should be added as a collaborator  Check your credentials are correct    Git won t actually say these things  it would just say that with your credentials no repo was found   Good luck

In our case it was simply a case of giving write rights in github  Initially the user had only read rights and it was giving this error

This message can occur when a repository IS found  but we don t have commit access  Not well-worded    I received the repo-not-found message after cloning a gitHub repository created for me by my boss  I could clone and commit locally   but could not push commits upstream  The repository owner had not given me write access  Solved by a plea for write access to the repo owner

I m seeing this fatal  repository not found error more often now as people try and push and pull from private GitHub accounts on the free tier  These are the most common solutions to the problem    You did not authenticate Your password has changed You are not a collaborator Incorrect case or a word misspelled The git repository has been deleted   Windows Credentials Manager   Sometimes Windows Credentials Manager caches your u p and passes it along behind the scenes  If you ve changed your password recently  or are using a different username  you might need to go into the credentials manager and clear your existing entries for GitHub

You might be logged in with some other GitHub credentials before  Exactly that s why this error is happening  Usually  mac is storing your GitHub credential to the keychain access tool  Your previous git account details are there  So it is getting mismatched with your current git repo which is in other accounts  The solution is simple and straight forward   Go to keychain access in your mac  On the left side under the category you can find all items  Click that  Right side top search  quot git quot   You will get some items regarding Github  Delete all those items   That s it  here you go  Try to push again  It will ask you the git username and password  Your new credentials will be stored again in the keychain and your push will be done  Hurray  Revert back to me  If you need more help  Thanks

I had the same issue after I set up 2FA on my repo  If you recently set up 2FA on your account  here s what I did to solve it   Generate a personal access token  Go to Settings -  Developer Settings -  Personal Access Tokens on your GitHub account  Generate a new personal access token  Make sure to check all repo-access related permissions   Delete all GitHub authentication configuration  from keychain for Mac   You ll need to sign in afresh using the generated Personal Access Token  so clear all previous authentication details from your laptop  For mac  open keychain and delete all github com related details from the login passwords section   Sign in to your terminal with your GitHub username and PAT as password   If you ve set up 2FA on your account  you won t be able to authenticate using your  GitHub password from the terminal  Now  attempt to push to a GitHub repo to trigger a need for authentication  A request to enter your GitHub username will pop up on your terminal  Enter your username  and when prompted for a password  use the generated Personal Access Token as password   These exact steps solved the problem for me

It is probably a matter of authentication  SourceTree caches your github credentials  that are used to access the repository by https  but from terminal you have to either configure git with the credentials  https   help github com articles creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use   or use git ssh and a ssh key pair  https   help github com articles generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent

This issue here is you local git is not able to push the changes to the remote Check your remote is set correctly by  git remote -v   if it is not set properly try setting your remote as  git remote set-url origin https   username github com MyRepo project git   Then try pushing using   git push -u origin master   Also there is a possibility of your local git has different credentials  please check that also

I was trying to clone a repo and was facing this issue  I tried removing all git related credentials from windows credentials manager after that while trying to clone git was asking me for my credentials and failing with error invalid username or password  This was happening because the repo I was trying to clone was under an organization on github and that organization had two factor auth enabled and git bash probably do not know how to handle 2fa  So I generated a token from https   github com settings tokens and used the github token instead of password while trying to clone the repo and that worked

I was facing this error in VS code because I was using VS code git extension  It saves my git credentials on Linux key-ring  While I wanted to git pull from another account which has access to the repository  The most simple solution is to open the Linux shell  not the one integrated in VS code  and then run  git pull origin master  This time  it will ask you the username and password of Github
