I cant add changes to github

[ozzymagnum]

i did this PS C:\Users\atlas\Desktop\HTML-Portfolio-Website> git push origin main
remote: Permission to ozzymagnum/HTML-Portfolio-Website.git denied to marcuspalheden-code.

Why this error happens
remote: Permission to ozzymagnum/HTML-Portfolio-Website.git denied to marcuspalheden-code

This means:

The repository belongs to ozzymagnum

You are logged into Git as marcuspalheden-code

That account does NOT have push permission to the repo

GitHub is blocking the push correctly.

How to fix it
You own the repo → fix your Git login (most common)

Your local Git is using the wrong GitHub account.

Fix it like this (recommended):

git config --global --unset user.name
git config --global --unset user.email

Then re-authenticate:

git push

GitHub will ask you to log in again → log in as ozzymagnum, not the other account.

Glad it’s working! You can mark the answer if everything’s clear now so others can find it easily 🙂

Here is the easiest way to make changes and push using VS Code

Since it’s already working now, this is the simplest routine you can follow every time:

Open your project folder in VS Code

Edit your files and save them

Using VS Code UI (no terminal needed)

Click the Source Control icon (left sidebar)

You’ll see the changed files listed

Type a short message like:

update homepage text

Click Commit

Click Sync Changes (or Push)

That’s it — your changes go to GitHub.

Using terminal (optional)

If you prefer terminal inside VS Code:

git status
git add .
git commit -m "update homepage"
git push

Important tips

Always save files before committing

Commit often with small changes

If GitHub asks to authenticate again, just approve it in the browser

Once this flow works once, it’s the same every time.

it dont work it says make sure to configure your user.name and user.email in git

Fix (do this once)

In your project folder (or anywhere), run:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"

Use:
Any display name you like

The same email as your GitHub account (recommended)

Example:

git config --global user.name "ozzymagnum"
git config --global user.email "ozzymagnum@gmail.com"

Then push again
git add .
git commit -m "update files"
git push

It should work without errors.

Important clarification

user.name / user.email do NOT control GitHub login

They are only metadata for commits

Authentication is handled separately in the browser
