Solution 1

What needs to be checked before anything else is the access level, which should be set to write. This can happen if you were added to the repo by someone else, and they forgot to grant you the required permissions.

Solution 2

I had the same issue when using the git cli and sourcetree - and doing the below solved it.

This is basically an auth issue and git had stored my creds for both bitbucket and github. All I had to do was delete those saved entries using sourcetree.

I am using SourceTree, so went to Tools -> Options -> Authentication

and under git saved passwords, I deleted them all.

This post can lead to other ways of doing the same as well.

Remove credentials from Git

Solution 3

git config --global --unset credential.helper

The above code worked for me. As @Kunal said, I think a reason I had this issue was as a result of saving my credentials a while back and this causing an auth issue now. I hope the code works, this stumped me for over an hour.

Solution 4

Here's how I solved mine.

1. Go to bitbucket and open the repository.

2. At the top right corner is a "clone button"

3. Click the button and copy the url. It will look something like this: git clone https://[email protected]/something/something.git

4. Open your terminal for and type the following

git remote remove origin
git remote add origin https://[email protected]/something/something.git

Then just do git push. Note: Git may prompt you to do this.

git push --set-upstream origin master

Do it. I did and mine works now.

Solution 5

Reset the git credentials: If its ubuntu system:

Unset the username and password

git config --global --unset credential.helper
git config --unset credential.helper

Open the .git-crendentials and remove existing username and password

vim ~/.git-credentials

https://username:[email protected] to https://mygit.github.com

Store git credentials again:

git config --global credential.helper store
git pull

If it is windows:

Go to Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager In under Generic Credentials, You can see the stored git passwords and remove it.

Credential Manager?

I have noticed that bitbucket sometimes takes up to 10 minutes before a newly added user to a repositiory can "pull", although it is already visible from the web interface. I'd advise anybody running into an unexpected 403 to give it some time before taking other steps.

thx @armin, I was struggling for an hour, even I have changed my password as sometimes it was saying that my password is wrong. +1 for saving my day.
