It says this error:

Code: Select all

remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/Andrey2470T/luxury_decor'
It happened after I changed a password to new in my github profile.

Better reset your password https://www.github.com/password_reset to regain access

What's you local Git client? If you use the official command line client try to re-set your user name and password either locally or globally (if you use your account for different repositories and set it up globally before).

Code: Select all

cd my_awesome_repository
git config --local user.name 'myCoolUserName'
git config --local user.password 'MySuperS3curePassw0rd'
Or --global.

My config file doesn't have "user.password" setting . And do I need it to be set when pushing/pulling?

Are you under Windows ? Does git asks your for a password when issuing "git push" ?

No, it doesn't ask for it. It just waits for something for a while (2-3 seconds) and then says: "fatal: Invalid username or password". Obviously, I can not in time to enter my password within this time.

And, I use linux, openSUSE.

I already said the re-setting doesn't change anything.

This is because your locally stored credentials do not match your repository's credentials.

Just do what I said.

I did set username and password globally because I want to use my account for all repos as you told me. And I say it doesn't fix this issue.

Also, I don't know what "your locally stored credentials don't match your repository's credentials" implies. What are local credentials?

Well, you locally stored credentials are your locally stored credentials. Either username/password or certificate, or keyfile, or anything else. And whatever it is, it does not match the credentials for your repository. What did you use before? Password? Certificate? Make sure your credentials match your repository's credentials (if you use GitHub your repository credentials are your GitHub user name and password).

Ah, you mean they don't match to ones' my remote repisitory. My local credentials exactly match to repository's ones. What very strange is what I actually did not save them before the changing my password in both ~/.gitconfig and .git/config files and I could push changes without any hinders. Since even their enabling don't perfectly help.

I also attempted to add a token to access ssh link. But it fails and says I probably don't have rights to my repo access :/

Obviously not. Otherwise you wouldn’t get a message about username or password being wrong. Git isn’t lying to you, you know? :)

So you used SSH before. Can you log in to your GitHub account? Maybe go here and upload your current public keys.

I verified my local credentials (username and password) exactly identical with the remote repo's ones and I can not mistake in it anyhow.

Of course, I can log in. And I did use HTTPS, not SSH, why do you say? I say I attempted to push changes used SSH before, but it failed for an unknown reason.

Maybe pushing to the wrong repo then? As said: Git isn't lying. If it says that your credentials are wrong, then your credentials are wrong. There. Are. No. Exceptions.
