当我尝试推送时，git提示我输入别人的密码

Question

I'm attempting to make an initial push on a large project that I'm editing (I'm not the original author) and when I go to push the projectmy github repo it asks me for someone elses password on bitbucket???

I've tried creating a new account on github and reseting global username/ password, deleted all files related to git on keychain and tried changing the directory names.

project-name darrinwebster$ git push -u origin master

Password for 'otherPersonsBitbucketAccount.org':

remote: Invalid username or password

fatal: Authentication failed for 'otherPersonsBitbucketAccount.org'

I'm expecting git to ask for my credentials (for github) as I've set the repository origin to my account.

Answer 1

You probably want to reset the URL of your origin remote to point to your GitHub account instead of the other person's Bitbucket account. You can do this with something like the following:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/example-user/example-repo.git

You could also use an SSH URL if you prefer that:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:example-user/example-repo.git

If you want, you can just add a different remote, and then push to that remote instead:

git remote add github https://github.com/example-user/example-repo.git
git push -u github master

You can of course use any URL you control; if you wanted to use a Bitbucket account instead of a GitHub account, that would be fine.

Git takes the username from the git config So I would start with checking the username from git config ( git config --global user.name ). If its the issue you can change the username with git config --global user.name "John Doe"
