I am on mac OS unlike this post 39 git push origin MyBranchName 39 throws error quot HTTP Basic Access denied quot I have password configured in GitLab I have SSL key created AFTER the project was made on GitLab When I use an existing folder for a new project and follow the steps below Existing folder cd existing folder git init git remote add origin https gitlab com sobopla Geronimod git git add git commit -m Initial commit git push -u origin master I am prompted to enter my GitLab username and password After password is entered I get remote HTTP Basic Access denied fatal Authentication failed for https gitlab com myname myproject

When I had the same problem I solved it by removing the file passwd in C Users lt USERNAME gt AppData Local Atlassian SourceTree After removing Sourcetree will prompt for the password Note OS Version win10 Sourcetree Version 3 1

There are two ways I got around this problem I added my username to the front of the remote URL https username gitRepoURL Not always the best solution where I work even though we re slowly moving towards using GIT we have our applications on a network drive so if I do this only I can push changes even if someone else worked on a feature I can t run git config --system --unset credential helper from GIT Bash so I had to open up an Admin Command Prompt and run it there this assumes you installed GIT such that it can run from both GIT Bash and the Command Prompt From Bash I get a could not lock config file error

Before digging into the solution lets first see why this happens Before any transaction with git that your machine does git checks for your authentication which can be done using An SSH key token present in your machine and shared with git-repo most preferred OR Using your username password mostly used Why did this happen In simple words this happened because the credentials stored in your machine are not authentic i e there are chances that your password stored in the machine has changed from whats there in git therefore Solution Head towards control panel and search for Credential Manager look for your use git url and change the creds There you go this works with mostly every that windows keep track off

I ve faced this same issue after once I ve entered the wrong credentials of my git account The thing that did work for me is open keychain Access - Password - find your entered wrong password and update it and hit save after that you will be able to perform your operations on git without any issue I hope this works for you

In my case I reinstalled to the latest version of git currently 2 16 2 I don t know if it was that my old version of git was outdated but I read on a github page that this should be done if you stumble into https cloning errors I figured it was an https cloning error as the error focuses on HTTP Basic while GitLab uses HTTPS I might be wrong in this thought process but the solution helped in my case and I hope this helps anyone in the future

I had the same issue but before I went ahead to implement any of the suggestions on here I checked if I was still logged into my github account I had the problem while working in my Gitlab account I found out I was still logged into my Github account and I logged out of the account immediately I tried to clone again in Gitlab and I didn t have the error and the clone was successfully

Well I faced the same issue whenever I change my login password Below is the command I need to run to fix this issue - git config --global credential helper wincred After running above command it asks me again my updated username and password

It is certainly a bug ssh works with one of my machines but not the other I solved it follow these Generate an access token with never expire date and select all the options available Remove the existing SSH keys Clone the repo with the https instead of ssh Use the username but use the generated access token instead of password alternatively you can set remote to http by using this command in the existing repo and use this command git remote set-url origin https gitlab com username repo-name git

The only thing that worked for me was using https username Password gitlab com user projectgit instead of https gitlab com user projectgit See https gitlab com gitlab-com support-forum issues 1654

GO TO C:\Users\<<USER>> AND DELETE THE .gitconfig file then try a command that connects to upstream like git clone, git pull or git push. You will be prompted to re-enter your credentials. Kindly do so.
