thanks a lot xMudrii for your response , but can you tell me if my thinking is correct or not : when i added live brunch i gave it the path on the Ubuntu hosting server like this : git remote add live root@x.x.x.x:/opt/adviser.git where x.x.x.x is Ubuntu hosting server IP Address so when i typed git remote -v i get : live root@x.x.x.x:/opt/adviser.git (fetch) live root@x.x.x.x:/opt/adviser.git (push) origin https://github.com/myname/adviser.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/myname/adviser.git (push) is that correct , i add remote brunch with my hosting server path depend on this link https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-automatic-deployment-with-git-with-a-vps please help , i need any idea that help me …

Make sure you set remote location correctly. What does Git service you use? Is it GitHub or something other? To check did you set remote location correctly, execute git remote -v in project directory (in same directory you did git push live master).

  1. git remote -v

If you use GitHub, output should be like one of this two:

Example output 1 - Remote listing - Git
live  	https://github.com/your-github-username/repo-name (fetch)
live  	https://github.com/your-github-username/repo-name (push)
Example output 2 - Remote listing - Git
live  	git@github.com:your-github-username/repo-name (fetch)
live  	git@github.com:your-github-username/repo-name (push)

In case of first output, you should be asked for username and password once you try push. For second, make sure you have set up SSH keys correctly. If you don’t have SSH key, you can follow GitHub guide to do so. If you use GitHub and don’t match above pattern, you made some mistake. Also, once again, make sure you typed your username and repo name correctly.

For The access Denied Issues And git username , password

I had this problem too but managed to solve it, the error is that ur computer has saved a git username and password so if you shift to another account the error 403 will appear. Below is the solution For Windows you can find the keys here:

control panel > user accounts > credential manager > Windows credentials > Generic credentials

Next remove the Github keys.
