When using the command "git push origin main" I am met with:

"remote: Permission to LukeNHeinrichs/TestRepo.git denied to LukeHeinrichs.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/LukeNHeinrichs/TestRepo.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403"

Incase anyone else runs into this error, it is likely caused by preexisting credentials on your computer. To fix this, follow these steps:

  1. Search for and open "Credential Manager" in the windows search bar.
  2. Select "Windows Credentials".
  3. Under "Generic Credentials", find "git:https://github.com" and click on it.
  4. Select "Remove".

After this, a login pop up will now happen when sending the push command in git for the first time.
