Git on linux - a few fixes to some issues

A brief list of issues and ways to resolve when working on linux

Attempting to communicate with the server but this happens eg:

#git remote show origin

(gnome-ssh-askpass:18745): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:12.0

Yep I do not have a display. Solution;

#unset SSH_ASKPASS

Attempt to push the first version of the repo but this happens:

#git push -u origin master

error: The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden while accessing https://github.com/S-Stephen/RECK.git/info/refs


fatal: HTTP request failed

Turns out that I cut and pasted the code from github to setup the repo which included the line:

git remote add origin https://github.com/My-Username/APPNAME.git

This does not include the username I wish to login as I therefor eneed to change this locally to be:

https://My-Username@github.com/My-Username/APPNAME.git

To do this:

# git remote set-url origin https://My-Username@github.com/My-Username/APPNAME.git

And away we go:

I did a #git add * but too much got added including my config/local.js file. 

Before the commit remove this:

# git reset config/local.js
