Hello!

I'm receiving the following error, when pushing from Databricks to GitHub. What I have done: 

  • Access token is set up
  • Repository is public
  • I can pull from the repository to Databricks
  • I'm using standard tier

"Error pushing changes Remote ref update was rejected. Make sure you have write access to this remote repository."

What else can I do to to solve this error?

Hi @ArttuHer ,

  • First of all check the scopes of your personal access token.
    Go to github/settings/Developer Settings.
    When the token is created, you need to define what permissions are granted to the token.
    Make sure repo scope is selected:

  • Make sure you have write access to repository. Just because you are able to pull from a public repository doesn't necessarily mean you have write access. Are you the owner of the repository or have you been added as a collaborator? Can you make the changes to the code directly in github?

Hello!

thanks for the answer. Just figured it out. 

It turned out that I accidentally had secrets in my code and it was not allowed by GitHub. After removing them, all worked out.
