如何取消我的计算机与github帐户的链接？

Question

I've been able to push with the mac GitHub app to a GitHub repo, but I'm trying to use the command line now and I see this error:

remote: Permission to bfred-it/test.git denied to wildlifela.

wildlifela is a company account that I used recently on a different project, I think I only added my SSH key to that account.

The problem is that even after removing my key from that account (wildlifela), my account (bfred-it), the RSA keys from my computer (with ssh-add -D ) and emptying the ~/.ssh folder, I still get that error.

It doesn't seem to be a repo issue: I just created a repo on GitHub.com, cloned it to my desktop, created a commit and git push origin master still produces that error.

After following the Generating SSH Keys procedure, ssh -T git@github.com authenticates me as bfred-it, but I still can't push as bfred-it.

What can I do? (OSX 10.9)

Answer 1

I worked around this issue by using a different version of git.

Instead of using OS X's git I'm now using homebrew's git and it's working correctly.

If anyone has any insights as to what was happening, please share.

Answer 2

although i removed the ssh keys and the git config files from the OS, it just won't let me clone/pull/push to repositories

1. Check that the repo is indeed owned by you (for pushing to it)
2. There always is the option of using https url (with GitHub username/password)
3. removing the ssh key might not be enough, you also have the ~/.ssh/config file.

As mentioned in the comment, it can depend on your version of Git and on your OS (Windows, Mac or Linux).
