Git: Error creating pull request: Forbidden (HTTP 403)

Question

I used to create pull-requests on my project as normally, I've been having access for a long time and nothing have changed since then.

Every time I try to create a new pull request I get the following:

(git: test-branch) $ hub pull-request
Error creating pull request: Forbidden (HTTP 403)

Is there a reason why I'm getting this? I have access to the repo, I can pull and push normally but not create pull-requests.

Answer 1

I just ran into the same problem - and checked the issues section in the repo - https://github.com/defunkt/hub/issues/317 - and found my answer :-)

Apparently we're not the only ones, but upgrading to the latest version of hub fixes the issue :-)

just run

brew update && brew upgrade hub

and you'll be all set :-)
