Can no longer push or pull to repository

[travelertt]

Description

After I updated GitHub Desktop to version 0.5.9, I'm unable to push or pull to my repo. I'm also unable to do the same in terminal.

Version

GitHub Desktop version: 0.5.9

OS version: Mac 10.12.5

Steps to Reproduce

Try to Fetch Origin, or Push.
Error popup with message:

Error
Authentication failed. You may not have permission to access the repositry. Open preferences and verify that you're signed in with an account that has permission to access this repository.

I'm logged in. And I do have access to the repository.

I was able to do access/push/pull the repository May 26, 2017. There has been no changes to my system. Or the repository settings.

I have tried signing out and signing back in with the app. Error still appears.

Reproduces how often: Now. 100%

@travelertt Could you run the command git remote -v in your repository folder and paste the output here?

Have you been building GitHub Desktop from source at any time since May 26th?

@jipexu Your errors seem to be about the older GitHub Desktop, while this repository is for issues with the new GitHub Desktop Beta. Please contact support support@github.com.

[jipexu]

thanks
this is also on this new .... ? no ?
on github desktop beta (0.5 9):
ERROR: Authentication error: Authentication required: You must have push access to verify locks
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/jipexu/npds_dune.git'

i also sent a mail to the github support

[joshaber]

@jipexu It looks like that error comes from Git LFS. See git-lfs/git-lfs#2219 for more info.

[jipexu]

thanks i will investigate - so where i have to post ? to not pollute this issue ?

[joshaber]

@jipexu I'd recommend opening an issue on the Git LFS repository.

[jipexu]

ok thanks

Pushing and Fetching working today, I don't know what changed to make it work now. I did upload a new public key to my account after this problem started yesterday. But, it didn't immediately fix the problem. Perhaps I need to wait for some sort of propagation?

[chrisgrande]

I'm being hit with this as well using Tower on the Mac, the old GitHub Desktop worked, it then auto updated (223) with a new version of git-lfs (2.2.1) and now it no longer works...

Update** I deleted the LFS hooks since I'm not even using LFS... did Desktop add these automatically at some point... I have no idea what changed in in the last 24 hours to break this system wide.

[joshaber]

Very odd!

It looks like there aren't any outstanding issues left, so I'm gonna close this.

I am also using the old GitHub Desktop(v223) and faced the same note. I solved it. Try rm .git/hooks/pre-push and push again.

I love the old GitHub Desktop(v223) very much!

@drakeet Please note that the old Desktop will be deprecated fairly soon; although you’ll still be able to use the classic app, it won’t get any more support or updates. If there’s something you don’t like about the new app, please open an issue and tell us about it!

Seeing this issue in GitHub Desktop 1.0.4 and Mac 10.13

[joshaber]

@bphilipnyc Could you open a new issue and fill out the issue template please? Thanks!

[vphilipnyc]

after installing Git LFS, this seems to resolve itself. Removing the hooks did not have any impact for me. Can't seem to reproduce from here.

I had the same issue because I changed my username. Resigning in my GitHub Desktop up solved it. Try logging out and then logging back in if you made and major changes in your gitHub account.

[imfaruk]

After facing the issue I found that I was signed out from github.com on github desktop. Singing in again solved the issue for me.

[LevanTsereteli]

Signing out and signing in again to the GitHub desktop solved the problem for me.
