Pycharm GitHub 'Push failed: fatal: Authentication failed'

Question

Every time I try to push a repository in GitHub with Pycharm the it fails.

Push failed: fatal: Authentication failed for \'https://github.com/(my github repo         


        

Answer 1

It seems there is some issue (if using https) if username or password contains "some" special characters.

So, I've generated a secondary password ("personal access token") in GitHub's application settings page (using the "Create new token" button), I did copy this token. Then I've selected Auth Type: Token in Settings->Version Control->GitHub, and pasted the token.

Testing it: Connection successful for user . Now the git push works perfectly.
