How do you setup authentication with the GitHub client?

Question

I am new to GitHub and have been in the process of uploading old projects to it.

Unfortunately, I have started to encounter this error whenever I want to publish more projects.

Requires authentication

This error persists even on my laptop.

If someone could help me out, that would be great.

Answer 1

Make sure you have followed first the Authenticating to GitHub guide: the client "GitHub Desktop" needs to know under which account it will create/push that new repository.

If it does not, then the error message would pop up.
