Operations Against a GitHub Repository Are Failing
Symptoms
- You cannot view Pull Requests in the IDE, but they can be opened in the GitHub web UI without any issues. The IDE will show the following:
Can't load data from GitHub
[Could not resolve to a Repository with the name <organization-name>/<repository-name>'.].
- When you log in to a GitHub account and perform any git operation (push/pull/fetch) against a remote GitHub repository, you see the following:
remote: Permission to <organization-name>/<repository-name>.git denied to <username>fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/<organization-name>/<repository-name>.git /': The requested URL returned error: 403
Cause
The JetBrains IDE integration app has not been allowed to access the organization's repositories on GitHub.

This is not working for me either as a regular GitHub login or token. I have seen this in three tries across two different computers and two different JetBrains IDEs. In all cases I see the a trialing ‘/’ after the GitHub URL. See the image in this issue: https://github.com/saidfathalla/Science-knowledge-graph-ontologies/issues/9
I was encountering this error, and rather than it being an issue with Github premissions, it was an issue with the version of PyCharm I had installed. https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-vfg9-hgrq-rjhq Updating the IDE to the latest version immediately solved the permissions error for me.
If you don't see GitHub features at all, if you're using multiple SSH identities (
.ssh/configwith multipleHost's) and adjusted the.git/configremote origin URL to a SSH alias (nongit@github.com), you can still benefit from GitHub IDE features by changing the remote origin togit@github.comand running this in the root of every repo:git config --local core.sshCommand "ssh -i C:/Users/<your_user>/.ssh/<identity_file> -o IdentitiesOnly=yes"git config --local core.sshCommand 'ssh -i ~/.ssh/<identity_file> -o IdentitiesOnly=yes'
