Can't push my Angular project to my github repo

Question

I'm trying to save my Angular project to a repo on github and am getting an error saying

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

I found several posts on here helping people get their SSH keys setup which I also did successfully. When I run git commit -m "some message" I get a response back saying there's nothing to commit and that the branch is clean. I switched the origin back and forth from the HTTPS and SSH links with git remote set-url origin (path) to see if that would make a difference but still get the same error about having access rights when running git push -u origin "main" . I don't know what else to do or what I might be missing, can anyone help?

Answer 1

Another approach is to use GitHub CLI gh

• install it
• authenticate yourself (using a PAT - token ) with gh auth login
  (double-check with gh auth status )
• create a new GitHub repository from your existing local repository with gh repo create

Regarding the last point:

cd /path/to/repo
gh repo create my-project --private --source=. --push

Replace my-project by a new GitHub repository name (or delete your existing one first)

Everything will be initialized and pushed
