Question

I have two github account and when I try to clone and push, for some reason it fails with permission denied.

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/<user-name-2>/test-config.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

You're attempting to push to a repository you are not allowed to push to. Check whether you have filesystem permissions on the server. If you're really trying to push to another users account on GitHub, afaik this is not allowed.

You must use the key of the other user. The following two Stack Overflow questions have answers about how to do something like this:
