I am not able to access my repos freely

Bug

Body

I keep getting blocked on my repos, and I can't figure out why. For some reason when I try to pull cross repo, it outright rejects it. Some of my repos it works fine, others it just does stupid things like rejecting the push.

Additionally, I have attempted to pay for the Github Pro account numerous times, it fails on the payment processing every time. The account has enough money, the card is valid, and the details are correct.

Also, who is honking the horn at my house. I don't want your advice.

Hi TheMapleseed,

that can be frustrating to face issues with repository access and payment processing. maybe try these suggestions that might help you troubleshoot the problems:

Repository Access Issues:

Check Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions for the repositories you are trying to access. If they are owned by an organization, check with the admin.
Network Issues: Sometimes, network configurations or VPNs can cause access problems. Try accessing your repos from a different network or disabling your VPN temporarily.
Git Configuration: Ensure your Git configuration is set up correctly. You can check this by running:

git config --list

Error Messages: If you receive specific error messages when pushing or pulling, please share them, as they can provide more context for troubleshooting.

Payment Processing Issues:

Payment Method: Double-check that your payment method is accepted by GitHub. Sometimes, certain cards or payment types may not be supported.

Contact Support: If the payment continues to fail, consider reaching out to GitHub Support directly. They can provide specific insights into any issues with your account or payment attempts.

General Advice: If you haven't already, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser to see if that resolves any issues with the GitHub interface.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issues you're experiencing. If you find this response useful, please mark it as an answer!

Best of luck!

Hi, I ran into a similar issue and here’s a simple way to fix it that actually works in most cases:

1. Fix push/pull being rejected (most important)
   This is usually an authentication problem. The easiest reliable fix is to use a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead of your password.

   • Go to: Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens
   • Generate a token with repo permissions
   • Then update your remote:

git remote set-url origin https://<YOUR_TOKEN>@github.com/USERNAME/REPO.git

After that, try:
git pull
git push

This usually resolves cross-repo access issues and random rejections.

2. If some repos work and others don’t
   That typically means permission differences.

Check:

* You are added as a collaborator on the repo
* If it's an organization repo, make sure SSO is authorized for your account/token

3. GitHub Pro payment failing
   This is unrelated to repo access. What worked for me:

   • Try a different payment method (another card or PayPal)
   • Disable VPN or try a different browser

If it still fails, it's likely on GitHub’s billing side.

If you're still stuck, share the exact error message from git push or git pull — that makes it much easier to pinpoint the issue.

I appreciate the suggestions, and will try them out, and get back to you.

It's still not functioning, and I can't get my pro account working anymore:
