I am new to tortoise git and using for my Github enterprise. When I try to commit my files from Tortoise git , it works but when I try to push it throws me the below error

remote: Password authentication is not available for Git operations.

remote: You must use a personal access token or SSH key.

remote: See https://github.********.com/settings/tokens or https://github.******.com/settings/ssh fatal: unable to access 'https://github.ford.com/****/****.git/':

The requested URL returned error: 403

I get the same error when I try to clone. I can only commit files.

But when i try using with a sample github.com instead of enterprise, all works fine. Please advice me on this.

If i need to set up anything for authentication guide me as well

    Use either SSH for Git remote operations or create an App token which you use instead of your password. – MrTux Sep 15 '18 at 19:01

You can create an access token and store it in the Windows Credential Manager.

  • Follow the steps in this link to create an access token.
  • Go to "Windows Credential Manager" and look for your Github Enterprise account.
  • Click modify and replace the password with the token you generated.

Generating Your SSH Public Key and replacing it as GitHub password should help.

Step 1 : Go to your IDE>>terminal - run below cmd & follow next steps populated

 $ ssh-keygen -o

Step 2 : Wait for some time and verify if given <filename.pub> has been generated in <given path>

Step 3 : Replace generated .pub key as a password for GitHub account.

Windows users go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager. Click Windows Credentials, look for GitHub account, select and edit password to .pub key

enter image description here

There are two ways of authenticating :

  1. either using username / password prompt while each git push/pull/clone
  2. Setup SSH Keys and let your rsa keys authenticate you ( which is widely preferred).

I think ford has opted the approach 2 .

The below article from Github should help you out.

https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account/

Follow it and make sure u add the SSH key of all machines u want access to the repo.

  • I did the same and added SSH key to my github as well, but it did not work out. Still gives me the same error. Cloning into 'C:\Users\Shankaran\Documents\Github test\aem-spl'... remote: Password authentication is not available for Git operations. remote: You must use a personal access token or SSH key. remote: See https://github.ford.com/settings/tokens or https://github.ford.com/settings/ssh fatal: unable to access 'https://github.ford.com/****/***.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403 – siva shankaran Sep 16 '18 at 14:11

    make sure you are using the clone url as something that starts with git@github.com:* , which has to be used if using ssh auth. If you are using a clone url that starts with http , its gonna take the 1st approach as mentioned in answer – Sanjay Sep 20 '18 at 17:00
