Failed to authenticate repository github

[dipand]

Hello,
I have a problem.
I have a github repository and I want to copy the files present in my local folder into it.
I use this instruction:

date _null_;
 rc = gitfn_push (
  "& dir_git.",
  "& user_github.",
  "& passw_github.");
run;

and I get the following error message:
"
ERROR: Failed to authenticate with the remote repository.
"
I can't understand why as username and password are correct as I access the folder on github.
Any suggestions?

Thank you all

Do you have 2-factor authentication enabled on GitHub (best practice)? If so, your normal GitHub password won't work.

Instead, you need to create a Personal Access Token. You use this just like a password, but in creating the token you have some control over the permissions and of course you can always revoke it if needed.

Hello,
I don't have the active double authentication on github, I can't understand the reason for the error.

Hello,
I need some help. The problem reported in recent weeks has been resolved. For a few days when I try to push the folder on github from sas I get this error message:
"
unexpected HTTP status code: 403 "

Any suggestions?

Are those values in quotes supposed to be macro variables? If so it appears that you have a space between the & and the variable name and they won't resolve properly.

the space in the macro variables was introduced when writing the post but in the program it is correct
