I was chasing ghosts because of this error message. In my case I did not create fork to my git account.

I am experiencing this, despite having a fork setup. I have already tried signing out and clearing credentials, and in any case, I am still able to push to my fork just fine, so it doesn't seem like an authentication problem.

I can also confirm that I am able to create a pull request on the website, no problem.

Are there any logs that might contain more info about the failure?
