Matlab push to Github Username/Password problem.

When I want to push my Matlab code to my GitHub repository, it asks for my Username and Password/Token. I then enter my Github details, but I keep getting "Incorrect password or Username". Any idea why this happens?

Hi Ewan,

There could be several reasons why you are receiving an "Incorrect password or username" error message.

Here are a few possible causes and solutions:

Incorrect username or password: Please verify that you are entering the correct username and password for your GitHub account.

Using an outdated authentication method: GitHub no longer supports password-based authentication. It is recommended to use personal access tokens (PATs) or SSH keys instead. Generate a PAT in your GitHub account settings and use it as your password when prompted.

Firewall or proxy settings: If you are behind a firewall or using a proxy, it could interfere with the authentication process. Check your network settings or try using a different network to see if the issue persists.

I hope this helps!
