Unable to push changes for creating a PR

[k-sai-kiranmayee]

Hello,

Firstly great repo! I'm trying to make a contribution.

Have cloned the repo locally, and added a question, and when trying to push after creating a branch, it is saying

remote: Permission to lydiahallie/javascript-questions.git denied to k-sai-kiranmayee.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/lydiahallie/javascript-questions.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403  

I don't have the SSH key. Looking forward to contribute and learn, any help is much appreciated 🤞

Thanks,
K. Sai Kiranmayee

You have to fork it first, not just clone it.
You fork it, clone your fork, commit your changes, push them and then open the PR.

When opening the PR, you can use this guide from Github: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork

Cheers 🥂

Thank you @alexandercerutti for your quick response! 😄

My current Git username is linked to my current organization. So, there is no other way to raise PR without forking it? If there is any, please let me know, I will be glad!!

Thanks!

Nope, you should be the owner or maintainer of the repo.

Is there any issue for it to be linked to your organization?

Mine is linked too but I use it for both open-source and personal things (I do have three emails registered in the same profile, so one is for the job and one for personal things + recovery).

Thank you @alexandercerutti, I have added my personal mail to this itself. Closing this!
