Can't publish repo to Github

Thank you. I am using Githubfor desktop. I think the problem is that I have a clone of Team Treehouse's repository and I'm trying to push my changes into it but I don't have permission.

Correct, you don't have permission to push change to Treehouse's Github repos.

What you can do is to fork that repo into your Github account, forking in Github is essentially like making your own copy of the whole repo, and you have the full permission to push or pull from the forked repo.

Building on what William Li said, I would do the following:

• Remove the remote origin that points to Treehouse's Github repo from your local repo
• Fork the Treehouse repo on Github
• Add a remote called "origin" to your local repo that points to your fork on Github
• Push the local repo to the new origin based on your fork

What course are you on? If you click the ask a question button from any video, challenge, or quiz page then your question will be tied to it so we can all see where you are at. Too late for that now though, so please provide a link. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. The videos didn't explain any of this because they were made under the assumption that the project you are going to put on Github was never on Github in the first place. Since your project started as a clone, it was tied directly to the Github repo you cloned it from.
