Authentication Failed Error - Repos still downloads - Can open but not push or commit
See original GitHub issueDescription
I have a GHE server in use, I am able to clone and commit/push to repos but not an org repo. When I clone the repository from the web page, the progress bar gets to 100% then I receive a “Authentication failed. You may not have permission to access the repository or the repository may have been archived. Open preferences and verify that you’re signed in with an account that has permission to access this repository.” error message. The repository still clones locally and I can open it in the app, but cannot push to it
Version
- GitHub Desktop: 1.1.0
- Operating system: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D102)
Steps to Reproduce
- Open repo page in Google Chrome
- Click “Clone or Download” then “Open in Desktop”
- GitHub app opens and progress bar starts moving, at ~100% - the error appears.
- Open repo from within github by pointing to directory, when trying to commit code - “Commit failed - exit code 1 received”
Expected Behavior
Repo clones successfully, code can be commited
Actual Behavior
“Authentication failed. You may not have permission to access the repository or the repository may have been archived. Open preferences and verify that you’re signed in with an account that has permission to access this repository.” “Commit failed - exit code 1 received”

That’s #78
That was the issue! Thanks @shiftkey - I have to switch away from Desktop because I can’t gpg sign, 😦 back to CLI for me.
