unable to push from desktop

See original GitHub issue

Description

Since this afternoon, I can’t push to origin anymore. GitHub Desktop says I don’t have the permission to access my folder, but I’m the owner and only contributor of this folder.

Moreover, I’ve checked I’m logged in my GitHub account.

Version

GitHub Desktop version: 1.0.6

OS version: 10.0.15063

Steps to Reproduce

  1. commit
  2. push to origin

Expected behavior: files pushed to origin

Actual behavior: authentication fails and the files are not pushed to origin

Reproduces how often: [What percentage of the time does it reproduce?]

It looks like that repository was just created, so the failure to authenticate previously is to be expected. We can’t easily differentiate between repositories to which you don’t have access and repositories which don’t exist.

We can close the issue because I’ve successfully pushed a new branch w/ Git GUI.

So, I’ll uninstall GitHub Desktop and keep Git GUI.
