Recently, I setup a personal access token for my account as instructed here.
However, when I try git pull
from my CLI I get the following error:
user@HP-Pavilion-dv5:/home/user/Documents/research/dataCollection# git pull
remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.
remote: Please see https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/ for more information.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/accountName.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
I had my credential saved in the config file, hence it does not ask for the username and password by default.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?
