Hello @concentrateddon, others,

I cloned this repo, created a branch, committed something, and wanted to push my branch back as a Pull request, but I get 403 access denied. What's your preferred flow?

> git push -u origin Remove_GitBook_references
remote: Permission to devops-collective-inc/big-book-of-powershell-gotchas.git denied to Jawz84.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/devops-collective-inc/big-book-of-powershell-gotchas.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Thanks :)

Um. Weird. I know we've gotten PRs to this repo before with no problem, so not sure. Google (github/VisualStudio#1361) suggests that it might just be an authentication issue and logging out/in might help?

Ok thx, will check later. As a matter of fact, I did start using a different MFA app for GitHub this morning. Maybe that's it then.

I found my problem.
My flow was: go to this repo, clone it in VSCode, create a branch, do commit, try push branch back to this repo. I am not allowed to do that: 403.

Solution:
My flow needed to be: Fork this repo to my own GitHub, clone it in VSCode, do commit, push to my repo, create merge request on my GitHub page.
