problems pushing my local repository to by remote GitHub

[FlashJackFromGungagai]

Hello,
I am having problems pushing my local repository to by remote GitHub, with this:
1 I created a public GitHub for some software testing work that I am doing, and I have made it public.
2 This is at https://github.com/FlashJackFromGungagai/20230118ATMUnitTesting
3 I have used IntelliJ IDEA to develop my testing scripts.
4 Using GitHub Desktop:
4.1 I have pointed it to the local repository
4.2 I have logged into my remote GitHub through GitHub Desktop.
4.3 I get the following message:

" You don't have write access to 20230118ATMUnitTesting. Want to create a fork?
commit to main"

I do not want to create a fork, and I do wish to commit to main:
1 I am still a novice with Git/GitHub and so I am not familiar with this message, is it telling me:
1.1 That there is a security on my remote GitHub setting that is preventing me from pushing from my local repository to my remote GitHub? If so, what setting do I need to change?
1.2 That there is a security setting on my local repository that is preventing me from pushing from my local repository to my remote GitHub? If so, what setting do I need to change

You can do the following things

1. check you have read-write permission or not

To do so,
1. Go to your repository
2. Click on the setting 
3. Click the "Action" option on the left side bar
4. Scroll down and check if you have the "Read and write permissions" checked under Workflow permissions

2. Initialize git repo in local folder and Push using git

1. Make sure you have git installed in your system
2. open terminal in your project folder and write these commands
3. $ git init
4. $ git add .
5. $ git commit -m "<commit_message>"
6. $ git remote add origin [email protected]:username/new_repo or $ git remote add origin https://github.com/github_username/repo_name.git
7. $ git push -u origin master 
If you have want to push in main branch then after  step-1 write this command-
    $ git checkout -b main
 then do rest of the steps

3. Alternatively you can upload the files manually using the "Add file" option in your git repository

You don't have write access to 20230118ATMUnitTesting. Want to create a fork?

This sounds like you're not allowed to push to the repository on GitHub that you're trying to push to. However, you should always have write access to your own repository. So I guess you're either logged in as the wrong user, or pushing the wrong repository (maybe because you cloned from somewhere else, and that URL is still configured?). 🤔

I'm not sure how to check either of those in GitHub Desktop, on the command line you can check the remote repositories with git remote -v.

Does not look like you have correct permissions.

[DrakeYounger]

This is a security feature built into GitHub to prevent unauthorized changes to the codebase. Ensure you are logged into GitHub Desktop with the correct account with write access to the repository. Try creating a new branch in your local storage and pushing the changes to the new branch instead of the main one. Once the changes are on the new branch, you can create a pull request to merge them into the main branch. On a side note, the benefits of Agile Software Testing go beyond just having an agile test environment. Agile methodologies can improve collaboration, increase efficiency, and produce higher-quality software overall.

Hey there!

Thank you for reaching out to the GitHub Community with your issue regarding pushing your local repository to your remote GitHub repository. This is a common problem that many users face, especially when they are new to Git and GitHub.

Based on the information you've provided, the error message "You don't have write access to 20230118ATMUnitTesting. Want to create a fork? commit to main" suggests that your local repository is not properly authenticated or authorized to push changes to the remote repository on GitHub.

This issue typically arises when the local repository is not correctly linked to the remote repository on GitHub or when you don't have the necessary permissions to push changes to the remote repository.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Verify Remote Repository URL: Make sure that your local repository is correctly configured to point to the remote repository on GitHub. You can check the remote URL by running the following command in your terminal (or Git Bash on Windows):

git remote -v

This command will show you the remote URLs associated with your local repository. Ensure that the URL matches your GitHub repository URL (https://github.com/FlashJackFromGungagai/20230118ATMUnitTesting.git).

2. Check Repository Permissions: Since the repository is public, you should have write access to it by default. However, it's a good idea to double-check the repository settings on GitHub to ensure that you have the necessary permissions.

   • Go to your GitHub repository (https://github.com/FlashJackFromGungagai/20230118ATMUnitTesting)
   • Click on the "Settings" tab
   • Scroll down to the "Manage access" section
   • Ensure that your GitHub account is listed with the appropriate permissions (admin, write, or maintain access)

3. Authenticate with GitHub: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to authenticate your local repository with your GitHub account. You can do this by following these steps:

   • Open a terminal (or Git Bash on Windows)

   • Navigate to your local repository

   • Run the following command to cache your GitHub credentials:

     git config --global credential.helper cache

   • When prompted, enter your GitHub username and password (or personal access token if you have one set up)

After trying these steps, you should be able to push your local repository to the remote GitHub repository without any issues.

If you're still facing problems, feel free to provide more details, such as the output of the git remote -v command or any error messages you encounter during the authentication process. The community will be happy to assist you further.

Happy coding! 🚀
