Git pushing to a private repo
Let us say 'yourWebApp' is the folder you have your local web app. Change it to the directory
cd 'yourWebApp'
Init git in the folder
git init
Now add your github url as a remote
git remote add origin git://github.com/somename/Web-App.git
Here origin is the short name for your url
Now pull the read me file from the github repo
git pull origin master
Now push your web app to the github repository
git push origin master
Here it is assumed that you are in your master, the default branch
Here pulling your readme files is necessary to merge the readme file with your local work. If your github repository is empty, you can skip the pull and directly push to your github repository.
On the other hand, if you want to use clone, there is no need to init as clone automatically sets up git in the directory. clone also sets your remote git url. In that case, your workflow should be
git clone https://github.com/path/to/your/repo
make some changes
git add your changes
git commit your changes
git push
I was facing the same problem. I was able to solve this by removing old credentials from windows.
- Open Control Panel from the Start menu
- Go to User Accounts -> Credential Manager -> Manage Windows Credentials
- Delete any credentials related to Git or GitHub
Once I did this, it started working again.
