Can't commit to new private Github repository

Viewed 770

After Github change private repository rules I have got some troubles. Now all users can create/change own repository to private without Billing Plans.

I have Public repo and changed it to Private. When repository is Public - I can push/pull via my git cli.

But when repository is Private - I can't push/pull via my git cli.

$ git clone git@github.com:myaccount/myrepo.git
cloning «myrepo»…
ERROR: Account `myaccount' is disabled. Please ask the owner to check their account.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

What's wrong and how to fix it?

Since you are making an existing public repo private, how many collaborators are there in your repo? there is a limit on how many collaborators there can be on a private repo without a billing plan.

From github

In addition to the features available with GitHub Free, private repositories on GitHub Pro include:

  • Unlimited collaborators

I had the same problem, write about it to github support and they will unlock your account for a new free repositories.
