GitPod Hint - error: 403 (Permission Denied)

If you encounter this issue:

remote: Permission to username/online.git denied to username
fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/username/online.git/’: The requested URL returned error: 403

or you just don’t want to give direct permission to Gitpod.

You can simply do:
git config --global --unset credential.helper

Use this command every time you rerun the Gitpod before pushing your changes to your forked repo.

Have fun!

To Give direct Access to Gitpod.
Under the “Access Control” menu of Gitpod, make sure “write public repos” is checked for GitHub.

where is the access control ?

Hii @nguyenhai3472

Once your vscode instance is opened for Gitpod.

  • Click on Gitpod, bottom left corner
  • then select Access control option
  • Then you can easily see the user settings

User settings:
