git - Permission denied error on Github Push

Question

Recently, I'm added as a member/contributor for Github project. I have cloned that project on local machine.

I have made some changes and committed locally and now trying to Push changes to original repo but when I try to Push,I get some permission error?

C:UsersMMDocumentsGitHubsoftware-licensing-php [master]> git push
origin master
remote: Permission to EasySoftwareLicensing/software-licensing-php.git denied to
 irfandayan.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/EasySoftwareLicensing/software-licen
sing-php.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
C:UsersMMDocumentsGitHubsoftware-licensing-php [master]> git statu
s
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 2 commits.
#   (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
#
nothing to commit, working directory clean

Am I lacking some permission for pushing changes so I could ask the original author of project?

Answer 1

• click fork button on original github project page
• clone your forked repository instead original
• push to it
• press Pull Requests button on your repository
• create it
• wait for original author to accept it
