As I’m working on the Periodic Table database project, I can’t push changes to my remote repo on the virtual machine that FCC provides. I created a local repo as the project asks (with git init). Following that, I added a remote repo to my local one with:
git remote add fcc <URL to my repo on GitHub>
Trying to push changes to the remote prompts for my username and password. Yet it raises an error. What would be the cause of this and what can be done to remedy it? The link that the message provides is broken.
