GitHub Push Permission Test Script

This is a Bash script designed to test whether you have push permissions for a specific GitHub repository. The script automatically creates a temporary branch and attempts to push a test file, then cleans up and restores the original state to ensure no residual changes.

🖥️ Usage Example

##  Test


Please enter the GitHub repository URL to test: https://github.com/username/repo.git
📥 Local repository doesn't exist, cloning...
🔍 Current remote repository URL: https://github.com/username/repo.git
🔍 Checking repository access permissions...
ℹ️ Repository is accessible [may be public or you have permissions]
    Continue testing push permissions? (Y/N): Y
🔍 Creating temporary branch: Push-test-1640995200
🚀 Attempting to push to remote...
✅ Push successful! You have write permissions to this repository!
    Delete temporary branch and test files? (Y/N): Y
🧹 Cleaning up...
✨ Cleanup completed, repository restored to pre-test state.
ℹ️ Log recorded to Push_test.log
 
 

📄 Log File

The script records each test result to Push_test.log, including:

• Test timestamp

• Repository URL

• Branch name

• Push success status

• Error messages (if any)）

⚠️ Precautions

• Ensure you have git installed and configured with SSH or HTTPS authentication

• If the repository is private, make sure you have access permissions

• The script attempts to clean up temporary branches, but manual cleanup may be needed if execution is interrupted

• Recommended to save or commit local changes before testing to avoid conflicts
