Three things    Your GitHub username is not an email address  It should be a username  like  sethvargo   You have a trailing slash on your repo name     git remote rm origin   git remote add origin https   github com pete first app git  You need to create the first app repo  I looked at  pete  on GitHub  and I do not see the repository  You must first create the remote repository before you may push

This answer is a bit late but I hope it helps someone out there all the same   In my case  it was because the repository had been moved  I recloned the project and everything became alright afterwards  A better alternative would have been to re-initialize git   I hope this helps   Merry coding

I faced exactly the same error message  When I run ls -a  I found out that  git was missing  surely I deleted it by inadvertence in previous days   As what I have locally is the same as on the Github repository  I simply removed my local  folder  and cloned the remote one again  After that  everything worked fine for me   rm -rf my project git clone https   github com begueradj my project git

I  have solved the same issue by giving the read permision from github account    Go to github account go the user write permission  When we clone the code we need read permission  When we need to push the code we use write permission so you need to give write permission

In my case  it was different  But I think sharing my experience might help someone  In MAC  the  keychain access  has saved my previous  Github  password  I was trying with a new GitHub repository  and it never worked  When I removed the old GitHub password from  keychain access  from my MAC machine it worked  I hope it helps someone

Your username shouldn t be an email address  but your GitHub user account  pete  And your password should be your GitHub account password   You actually can set your username directly in the remote url  in order for Git to request only your password   cd C  Users petey 000 rails projects first app git remote set-url origin https   pete github com pete first app   And you need to create the fist app repo on GitHub first  make sure to create it completely empty  or  if you create it with an initial commit  including a README md  a license file and a  gitignore file   then do a git pull first  before making your git push

If this problem comes on a Windows machine  do the following    Go to Credential Manager Go to Windows Credentials Delete the entries under Generic Credentials Try connecting again  This time  it should prompt you for the correct username and password

Make sure your git username and password is correct  In my case  it gave error when the username and password especially the GIT TOKEN  was not correct
