Same user set after changing username globally to git

Question

I am trying to Push on Git. I successfully changed my username & email by using

git config --global user.email "demo@gmail.com"
git config --global user.name "demo"

But When Pushing to Git, It is giving me error remote: Permission to username denied to perviously set username. Unable to access.

Can anyone help me to solve this error?

Pretty sure your commit credentials have nothing to do with this error — Mad Physicist, Aug 31 '18 at 06:39
Can you show the actual output of git rather than paraphrasing? — Mad Physicist, Aug 31 '18 at 06:40

This is somewhat speculative, but the issue could have to do with that some of the commits in your local branch still bear the incorrect username and/or email address. Type git log on the branch to check, and in particular pay attention to the new commits you have locally which the remote does not already know about.

See here for a number of methods to change the commit author for a Git branch.

I could be wrong, but if so, then we can rule out your history as being the cause of the problem. – Tim Biegeleisen Aug 31 '18 at 06:45

just follow these commands,

sudo dnf install git
git config --global user.name " "
git config --global user.email
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=31536000'
