If you are using `https` with github, then you need to use your username and a Personal Access Token you've generated in your GitHub account - they no longer let you use your regular github password for https access.

With the https i got it running  
Problem was a hidden email address, the logs helped me with that.

Now i set up a test with laptop (osx ) and a pi  
I added something on my laptop a text node and updated it to git

on my pi i do a pull  
this give me the error below

```auto
An unexpected error occurred:

Cannot read property 'fetch' of undefined

code: unexpected_error

```

Seeing the same thing. I've created a key in the NodeRed general settings, I see the keypair in ~/.node-red/projects/.sshkeys folder and have added the public key to my Github keys in Account Settings. I attempt to Manage Remote branch that I've added in the Project Settings as ssh://git@github.com:ikidd/"myreponame".git and it says authentication required and just keeps showing my SSH Key in the dropdown but never logs in. If I cancel, it doesn't let me choose a branch or create an origin:main link.

I've added the github public key for their SSH host to known\_hosts in the service users .ssh folder by attempting an ssh login to [git@github.com](mailto:git@github.com) and saying Yes when it verifies the identity of the server.

I've changed the remote repo between private and public and restarted nodered, does not seem to help.

I have had this work, but had to do some manual git linking at the projects local repo folder and still had to come into the NR page and link them, but at least at that point it prompted me to Create origin:main link to click on.

I'd prefer to figure out whatever method the Project developers were thinking of to get these repos to link and enable pushes.
