I'm trying to push my code to GitHub from the WebStorm IDE. It keeps giving me 

remote: Permission to dagu-games/dagu.git denied to [USERNAME].
fatal: unable to access 'https://dagu-games@github.com/dagu-games/dagu.git/':
       The requested URL returned error: 403

as the error, where [USERNAME] is an old, unused user I must have logged into at some point.

I can't find a reference to this user anywhere when I search it on my PC or when I look in any configuration files.
I've examined the local config file and the global .gitconfig file and there are no references to [USERNAME] anywhere.

I have added the user that owns the GitHub repository so it definitely has permission.
I also have the IDE logged into the correct user and it is set as the default account.

It basically looks like I am logged into the correct account everywhere and with no trace of the old account anywhere, but when I go to push my code, it errors out saying I am trying to do it as this old username.

Is there some place I'm not looking that has me still logged in?

Possible your git credential helper, which could have cached the wrong user/credentials associated to that URL. 

git config credential helper

On Windows, for instance, you can remove it with:

git credential-manager reject https://github.com/dagu-games/dagu.git

  • Thank you so much! This worked perfectly for me. I simply needed to delete the credential in the Windows Credential Manager. I didn't even know that existed. – Douglas Kihlken Nov 06 '18 at 16:27
