Hi Tom, I saw the thread and wanted to help clear up the confusion.
To answer your first question: for safety and code security, direct pushes to the main LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git repository are restricted to core maintainers. Everyone else contributes by pushing code to their own personal fork and then submitting a Pull Request. This prevents accidental changes from breaking the main codebase. The reason you are getting permission denied errors is because of how your local git remotes are configured. Based on the output you shared: origin https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git (push) Your local origin is pointing directly to the main LinuxCNC repository. So, when you try to run git push origin..., Git is trying to write directly to the official project, which rejects it. You don't want to push there; you want to push to tjtr33/linuxcnc. Here is how you fix your local repository so it points to the right places: 1. Rename the main repo to upstream It's standard practice to keep a link to the main repo so you can pull the latest updates, but we usually call it upstream instead of origin. Run this in your terminal: git remote rename origin upstream 2. Add your fork as the new origin Now, tell Git that origin should be your personal GitHub fork: git remote add origin https://github.com/tjtr33/linuxcnc.git 3. Verify your setup Run git remote -v again. It should now look like this: origin https://github.com/tjtr33/linuxcnc.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/tjtr33/linuxcnc.git (push) upstream https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git (fetch) upstream https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git (push) 4. Push your code Now that origin points to your fork, you can push your local branch. If you are working on a branch called master, you would run: Bash git push -u origin master (Note: If you are working on a differently named branch, replace master with your branch name). Once that push succeeds, your code will be on your GitHub page, and you can click the "Compare & pull request" button on GitHub to send it to the main LinuxCNC project. Hope this helps get you unstuck!
