GitLab remoto: HTTP Básico: acesso negado e erro fatal na autenticação

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'

git config --system --unset credential.helper

then enter new password for Git remote server.

It depends where you put your credentials. If the previous command does not work try also using global flag

git config --global--unset credential.helper

I got the same error and I solved this by :

• Apply command from cmd

git config --system --unset credential.helper

And when I execute the above command, I got another error

error: could not lock config file C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/etc/gitconfig: Permission denied

• And then I removed gitconfig file from C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/etc/ location

• After that use git command like git pull or git push, it asked me for username and password. applying valid username and password and git command working.

For me, the following worked:

Do not use your GitLab password, but create an access token and use it instead of your password:

• In GitLab, go to Settings > Access Tokens
• Create a new token (check api)
• git clone ...
• When you are asked for your password, copy and paste the access token instead of your GitLab password
