Your credentials lack one or more required privilege scopes. - On WSL2

Christoph Schröer

Hello,

I am facing a problem using git and bitbucket on WSL2.

I have a user and created a Bitbucket App Password. I use HTTPS for cloning.

For cloning and pulling, the App Password works well.
Only for pushing changes, I get the following error message:
remote: Your credentials lack one or more required privilege scopes.
fatal: unable to access 'https://bitbucket.org/.../.git: The requested URL returned error: 403

I used the same App Password on the windows host system or on other linux systems successfully, but on WSL, it is not working.

How can I handle this error?

Thanks and best,
Christoph

Ok, the APP password was not set correctly in the remote URL

git remote -v

git remote set-url origin https://cschroeer:CORRECT_APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/....git

 

It is a bit crazy that pulling works, but for pushing this has to be set extra.
