git push user id not changing

Question

I have two git ID("theNameBeforeIUsed", "correctName"), and I want to change my session.

So I typed, $ git config user.email correctmail@email.com $ git config --global user.email correctmail@email.com $ git config user.name "correctName" $ git config --global user.name "correctName" $ git push origin master

But, permission error occurred remote: Permission to ~~~.git denied to theNameBeforeIUsed. fatal: unable to access '~~~.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

How can I logout "theNameBeforeIUsed" and login with "correctName"?

I found answer! The windows saved my git credentials. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28238037/git-log-out-user-from-command-line — fre bern, Jun 29 '17 at 05:55

probably when you clone the repository you use something like this theNameBeforeIUsed@yourgit.com:proyect.git

so if you change the user when it connect to git it will use theNameBeforeIUsed instead the new user then you need change the file .git/config

and where it say

[remote "origin"]
    url = theNameBeforeIUsed@yourgit.com:project.git

use the https version of your project or change there your user, I personally prefer https because is more secure and always ask your user avoiding misunderstandings

When I type `git remote show origin` it says `Push URL: https://github.com/~~/~~.git` – fre bern Jun 29 '17 at 05:27
check the file anyway – Emiliano Jun 29 '17 at 05:30
[core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = false bare = false logallrefupdates = true symlinks = false ignorecase = true [remote "origin"] url = https://github.com/~~~/~~~.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [user] name = correctName email = correctEmail@email.com – fre bern Jun 29 '17 at 05:30
url have no prefix such as username@ – fre bern Jun 29 '17 at 05:31
so your git ask for credentials each time that you push or pull isn't it? check if you have a ssh key setted on https://github.com/settings/keys – Emiliano Jun 29 '17 at 05:32
It says, There are no SSH keys with access to your account. There are no GPG keys with access to your account. – fre bern Jun 29 '17 at 05:33
you don't answer so your git ask for credentials each time that you push or pull isn't it? – Emiliano Jun 29 '17 at 05:34
No, no credential requested when I push or pull. – fre bern Jun 29 '17 at 05:36
then that is the problem, when you have https you always must input the user and the password what are you using to do pull and push which tool? – Emiliano Jun 29 '17 at 05:38
I just use Git Bash in win7 – fre bern Jun 29 '17 at 05:39
