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

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

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

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

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

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 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
