Asked By CuriousCoding123 On

Hey everyone! I'm having trouble with Git and could really use your help. I've been following the steps: using `git add`, then `git commit`, but when I attempt to do `git push`, I keep getting an 'access denied' error. I made sure to enter my username and token correctly, but I'm still stuck. This is my first time using Git, and I'm working in PyCharm. I've already authorized GitHub within PyCharm, so I'm not sure what else to do. Any tips?

GitHub has moved mostly away from username/password authentication. If you’re using a personal access token, make sure it has the right permissions to push. If you haven't already, consider switching to SSH keys instead; it's generally more secure and reliable.

It’s essential to set up SSH keys on your GitHub profile. Password authentication isn’t reliable anymore, and if you’re seeing a '403 permission denied' error, that could mean your permissions are off. Check your token's settings as well to ensure it allows pushing.

You also might want to evaluate whether you're pushing through the PyCharm interface or the terminal. Sometimes using one method over the other can make a difference. Just a thought!

It sounds like you might need to check the exact error message. Sometimes it provides clues on what's wrong. Can you post that? It could really help us diagnose the issue better.

Are you sure you're trying to push to the right branch? If your repo has rules that restrict pushing to `main`, that might be the issue. Just something to double-check!
