7 years ago You definitely have write permissions to the repo, as you seem to have
pushed something 2 hours ago - though just a readme. So I think you're
encountering some other problem with authentication. How is the "remote"
configured in your local ssh client? Are you using https or ssh? If it
is ssh, then you should check whether you can actually ssh to github:
ssh git@github.comand check that you can authenticate.
It's also worth checking that you are trying to push to the correct remote - you
might accidentally be trying to push back to hpce-2017-cw3, which you shouldn't
have access to.
I also notice that you've put a readme in your repo, rather than cloning from the master repo, which may cause problems when you try to push (though not the problem above). One way round this will be to "force push" your local repository up to the remote - just make very sure you are pushing to the correct remote.
When I am trying to push to my repository I get this error, “Authentication failed. You may not have permission to access the repository. Open options and verify that you're signed in with an account that has permission to access this repository.”
