Pushing change to the repo from build

[ivinskyi]

I'm trying to push a change to the repository from build, follow the advice here https://docs.codemagic.io/troubleshooting/accessing-builder-machine-via-ssh/#making-configuration-changes and it fails.
Note: I put this in a build itself, not executing the commands via SSH or VNC connection, I assumed it should work.

I can successfully use a token, for example, to list all my repos.

gh auth status

shows

github.com
  ✓ Logged in to github.com as ivinskyi (GITHUB_TOKEN)
  ✓ Git operations for github.com configured to use https protocol.
  ✓ Token: *******************

I then run

gh auth setup-git

to use github token credentials from gh.

Then,

git push

Fails with

remote: Write access to repository not granted.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/ivinskyi/my_repo/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I tried to repeat the same steps on my dev machine and pushing changes works from my laptop.

Maybe your token doesn't have permission to make changes on repos.

HI @ivinskyi, The repo is cloned via HTTPS, gh and git won't share authentication.
Try something like.

git add .
git commit -m "changes"
git push "https://git-username/:$GITHUB_PAT_TOKEN@git-url"
