I am able to clone repos just fine using https:
$ git clone https://github.com/srobertson421/repo.git
but when I go to push commits it gives me this error:
$ git push error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/srobertson421/repo.git/info/refs
It’s probably something really simple, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

If the above steps doesn’t work, check whether there is port blocked. Ask your firewall team to open the same.
try changing your remote server name from github.com to username@github.com by following command:
$ git remote set-url origin https://srobertson421@github.com/srobertson421/repo.git
and then push

You can do that by generating SSH keys if you haven’t already: <pre>ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -N “”</pre> and adding the public key to your Github account: <pre>cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub</pre>
