Git push error "You must verify your email address."

Question

When I'm trying to push to GitHub, I get the following error:

remote: You must verify your email address.
remote: See https://github.com/settings/emails.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/user/userRep.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I am absolutely sure that my email is already verified. I've tried to add remote url without .git, but it didn't help.

Answer 1

I faced the same error. I suspect it was due to incorrect credentials cached in git (previously I committed to a private repo using different credentials)

Solved by

git push https://username:[email protected]/user/userRep.git

After executing this command, git push started to work.
