Obsidian git- unable to push

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

I have installed Obsidian Git, and whilst I am able to commit changes from Obsidian, and push to origin using Github Desktop, I am unable to push directly from Obsidian.

When I try to push from Obsidian, the following error message occurs:

‘Pushing to https://github.com/lucyanna/Obsidian_git_backup.git fatal: could not read Username for ‘https://github.com’: Device not configured’

Things I have tried

  • Restarting Mac
  • Pushing separately vs using the create backup hotkey

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I’ve tried changing the remote URL to SSH, but it still displays the same error message?

I’ve also searched online, and there are some suggestions to ‘do chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config’.

However I’m confused as to the exact steps to do this and would be grateful if you could please help to explain it?
