An error occurred. Detailed message: An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Net (Error). Response status code does not Indicate success: 403 Forbidden).

Answer 1

You should use a HTTP debbuging proxy server (ie fiddler), and try to synchronize your commit with Visual Studio (Visual Studio Tools for Git extension). In my case I realized that I was logged with another git account and VS tries to login with that account (Request: Permission to repo/repo.git denied to UserX).

So I run 'rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr' and erase my credentials (maybe only update could works). When I tried to sync again, VS ask for credentials and everything works fine.

Answer 2

Check on your local project path the config file allocated in .git folder. It should be something like this:

[core]
   bare = false
   repositoryformatversion = 0
   filemode = false
   symlinks = false
   ignorecase = true
   logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
   url = https://github.com/aGitHubUser/aRepo.git
   fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
   remote = origin
   merge = refs/heads/master

Equally, be sure , that you have permissions on the reopsitory on GitHub web.

I hope that it helps you. ;)

当团队领导“忘记”授予我GitHub存储库的权限时，通常会在团队环境中收到此错误。

Answer 4

My one cent:

Add your second account as a collaborator to the repository. To add a collaborator, go to repository settings page -> collaborators.

Answer 5

I started facing this issue when I changed my bitbucket password.

So I deleted the Source tree default authentication.
When I tried to sync again, it asked for credentials. After providing new credentials everything started working again.
