creating repo

[rj]

I've connected to git using personal access token with ALL rights. I still cannot create a remote repo...nothing I do seem to fix/help. Any suggestions? 

auth type basic, username filled in, protocol SSH, SSH key specified, password = PAT with every single thing checked in it.

Thanks, I know how to do what is in those articles, please again read the problem, it's some kind of permissions issue. Happy New Year.

Hi @krill ,

Some users have confirmed that by doing the below steps, the problems regarding the creation of repo solves most of the time!

Please try a clean install! The steps are as follows:

1. Wipe SourceTree preferences. 
2. Uninstall SourceTree (if it shows on the App&Features list)
3. Backup then delete the directory below before proceeding with the next step
• Navigate to C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local and delete SourceTree & SourceTree-Settings folder
• Navigate to C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Atlassian and delete all SourceTree Files/Folder.
4. Download SourceTree and install it.

Should I be connecting to Git via OATH or BASIC with personal access token?

Hi @krill ,

You can try both whichever suite/works best for you!

Ok, even following all these steps, I'm still at the same issue/place. even tried these steps:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-questions/Having-Trouble-Creating-SSH-Key-And-Connecting-To-GitHub-On-Mac/qaq-p/1565441#U1569243

I can clone repos, but cannot create one.  :(

and I get the "must add SSH key manually" message when adding my account back, even though i just added the SSH key to github successfully right before adding the user... 🤷‍♂️

Hi @krill ,

Logout of your account and try to log in again!

after that, if you still have a problem contact Atlassian Team HERE

[rj]

logout of which account?

[rj]

also, I have 2 factor enabled on my Git, does that matter in all this?

[rj]

also, there is no way to "contact the team" via that link, it just takes me right back to this forum, where this is posted already...

Hi @krill ,

I think you need to upgrade your account to contact Atlassian Team.

logout of the account you are trying to log in to or try to clean install again!

Ok. I guess there's no solution. I don't need any other atlassian products right now (so I can't even "upgrade" my account), and the 2 links above just take me round and round circular again over the exact same steps I've already done and we've discussed. 😂 Thanks though for your responses.
