I have 2 github accounts, one for personal use and one for work.

I am working on a personal website and so I have logged into git from the terminal using my personal username and password. When I do a 'git config --list' I am shown the correct username and password for my personal account as I would expect.

However when I then try and push my code up to my personal account it gives this error...

remote: Permission to <personal_username>/<personal_repo>.git denied to <work_username>.

I have no idea where it is even picking up my work username or work credentials from as they are not listed in my git config.

Please help!

Thanks

If the URL is an HTTPS one, check your git config credential.helper: if manager, if would have cached, you need to reject its URL

git credential-manager reject 
protocol=https
host=github.com

  • Where do I put that code sorry? I've run a 'git config -l' and my work credentials aren't even showing there so I don't know where the computer is picking them up from anymore – brianmcgowan Jun 18 '20 at 10:00
  • @brianmcgowan credentials have nothing to do with git config. That command is to be typed in a bash or CMD, then you type `protocol=...` and `host=...`. What OS are you on? With which version of Git? – VonC Jun 18 '20 at 10:38
  • git version 2.17.2 (Apple Git-113) and I am using a Mac – brianmcgowan Jun 18 '20 at 13:02
  • @brianmcgowan OK. Could you upgrade to 2.27? – VonC Jun 18 '20 at 13:08
