Question:
I just enabled 2FA (I can’t think of any other changes I made) and git asked for my username and password. I provided both, but they were “wrong”. I tried many of the solutions here: Git push requires username and password but that didn’t work. In particular, when switching from https to ssh, the ssh key gives
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

$ git push warning: push.default is unset; its implicit value is changing in Git 2.0 from 'matching' to 'simple'. To squelch this message and maintain the current behavior after the default changes, use: git config --global push.default matching To squelch this message and adopt the new behavior now, use: git config --global push.default simple See 'git help config' and search for 'push.default' for further information. (the 'simple' mode was introduced in Git 1.7.11. Use the similar mode 'current' instead of 'simple' if you sometimes use older versions of Git) Username for 'https://github.com': ********** Password for 'https://mlbileschi@github.com': remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/mlbileschi/scala.git/' |
Any tips?
Answer:
You need to generate an access token. You can create one by going to your settings page.
Use this access token as your password in the command line.
