CentOS - Oct 2014 - Hi again & problem with minimal CentOS and Github

Hi everybody,

I'm back to CentOS after a long period during which I've been using 
mainly Slackware. I still use Slackware for teaching and for my local 
clients (on servers and desktops), but right now, I'm planning to update 
my own documentation about CentOS, which is still based on version 5.x.

First things first. For the moment I have a sandbox server in my office 
with a minimal installation of CentOS 6.5. It's a very stripped 
installation, and I want to keep it that way, installing things only as 
I need them. So I did *not* do a "yum groupinstall Base" after the 
initial installation.

I installed Git and Vim and cloned my Github repository for CentOS. But 
when I make a modification and want to push it to Github, I get the 
following error:

# git push
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing 
https://github.com/kikinovak/centos/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed

Now I think there must be some missing component in my CentOS 
installation, because my Slackware workstation in the same network can 
push things just fine.

Any idea what's missing here?

Cheers from the flooded South of France,

Niki

I'll answer this myself, since I just stumbled over the solution. It 
seems that the version of Git shipping with CentOS has a little problem 
with Github. The solution is to add the username to the URL like this:

# git remote set-url origin 
https://kikinovak at github.com/kikinovak/centos.git

Cheers,

As far as I understand, this error is server side because GItHub does 
not allow write operations over HTTP.

Can you please share your Git configs on the Slawk box?
I think your "origin" is "ssh://" and not
"https://"
