Can't push to github with 2FA

[buggtb]

Bug description

I don't know whats happening but when I open a new workspace using IntelliJ I have to jump through many hoops to actually push it back to github.

In gitlab I can open a terminal and commit push and it works, in github I get:

remote: Permission to unity-sds/unity-cs-terraform-transformer.git denied to buggtb.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/unity-sds/unity-cs-terraform-transformer.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

which is ironic because I created that repo and I'm an admin on it.

If I use the VCS tooling inside IntelliJ I get the same error.

Steps to reproduce

Create workspace via gitpod github button.

Commit and push.

Hey @buggtb, can you try in a new workspace? Not sure if this has to do something but worth a try. Other than that, our IDE webapp team will be able to help if needed 🙏

[buggtb]

Oh this isn't new, this has been the same in various workspaces for a few weeks

oooh, I suspect I know what it is, I have github 2FA enabled. Cause if I flip the url scheme and stick a key in the .ssh folder I can push to it.

Is it happening on VSCODE too? Can you please confirm?
If not:
Can you check if you have proper permissions granted for Github integration at https://gitpod.io/preferences ?
Also please see #8076 for more context.

Maybe try removing the github integration and adding it back, I have 2FA on my account too, probably the github token needs a refresh 🤔

yeah its mega confusing, the gitpod integration isn't on the org, so its probably that, but its a public repo, so it doesn't look like the stuff on the other ticket. Also if I create a token inside IntelliJ it doesn't work there either, but also doesn't tell anyone why.

Github make this so much harder than Gitlab 😒

That ticket applies to both public and private repos in some aspects. Just make sure that you have a proper github integration and check that github is not blocking gitpod in third-party-access as per the linked ticket.

Can confirm it was cause of the disabled integration on the org. Be nice on the other ticket to get more feedback when it something like that.
