What's Wrong?

Environment: Claude Code web (claude.ai/code)

Issue: Git push stopped working mid-project with persistent 403 errors,
despite the GitHub OAuth app being authorized. Previous commits on the
same branch pushed successfully.

Error:
remote: Permission to raymondckearney/Curio.git denied to raymondckearney.
fatal: unable to access 'http://127.0.0.1:<port>/git/raymondckearney/Curio/':
The requested URL returned error: 403

Steps taken without success:

Disconnected and reconnected GitHub in claude.ai settings multiple times
Closed and reopened the session (proxy port changed, 403 persisted)
Attempted push via GitHub MCP tool (same 403)

Root cause observed: GitHub settings show Claude is authorized as an OAuth
app but "has not been installed on any accounts" — the GitHub App
installation appears to be missing or was never completed, so only read
access works, not write/push.

Request: The Claude Code web onboarding flow should ensure the GitHub App
is fully installed (not just OAuth-authorized) before allowing git
operations, or provide a clear "Install GitHub App" button when push
access fails.

What Should Happen?

GitHub push should work reliably throughout a session. If the GitHub App installation is missing or the push token expires, Claude Code should detect this automatically and prompt the user to reinstall/reauthorize — not silently fail with a 403.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Connect GitHub via claude.ai settings (OAuth only — no GitHub App install prompt)
Open a Claude Code web session on an existing repository
Have Claude make and commit changes
Claude attempts git push → 403 error
Disconnecting/reconnecting GitHub in settings does not fix it
Closing and reopening the session does not fix it
Push remains broken for the remainder of the session

Having same issue...

Body:

Git push has stopped working for my repository (alteonsolutions/mapper-scripts) with a persistent 403 error. This was working correctly for weeks and stopped without any changes on my end.

Error:

remote: Permission to AlteonSolutions/mapper-scripts.git denied to AlteonSolutions.
fatal: unable to access 'http://127.0.0.1:[PORT]/git/AlteonSolutions/mapper-scripts/': The requested URL returned error: 403
What I've tried:

Disconnected and reconnected GitHub in Claude Code settings
Opened multiple new sessions
Tried pushing to both main and feature branches
Git fetch (read) works fine — only writes fail
Additional observations:

The local proxy URL (http://local_proxy@127.0.0.1:PORT) changes port on each session, confirming sessions are refreshing
My GitHub settings show a "Claude Code" fine-grained PAT and SSH key, both marked "Never used" — suggesting the actual auth was always handled by an internal platform credential, not these tokens
That internal credential appears to have expired or been revoked on Anthropic's side
Environment:

Claude Code web (claude.ai/code)
Repo: github.com/alteonsolutions/mapper-scripts (personal account, not org-restricted)
Platform: Linux

FYI. I encountered the same issue with claude code web.
I worked around the problem by specifying my github pat in a prompt.
Then the claude code web session successfully executed git remote add github https://github.com/redacted/redacted.git && git push https://github_pat_redacted@github.com/redacted/redacted.git redacted 2>&1

AlteonSolutions · 3 months ago

Refreshing and providing a new PAT worked for me as well...not sure why it stopped working suddenly but it's working now.

same, I generated a PAT and was able to have a claude code session use that. I also found that even a new CCW session has the same problem, and I need to give it a PAT.

Just happened to me https://claude.ai/code/session_01X4UoEvFk839WJtSDR9jv9Y

Workaround:

Open https://github.com/settings/installations. If "Claude" appears only under Authorized OAuth Apps and not under Installed GitHub Apps, that's the bug.
Install it from https://github.com/apps/claude and grant access to basilevs/rat_tracer (or all repos).
Start a new session afterwards. Credentials are minted when the container starts, so this session will keep its read-only token even after you fix the installation.

Note that Claude will try to extort team subscription after a couple redirects. Ignore that, close the tab, retry push. No need to restart session!
