'git push' command failed when I was trying to push a new file to a forked repository. The error I get is as follows: ! [remote rejected] master -> master (permission denied) I am the owner of the forked repository so I am not sure why I get this error. I appreciate help with that. tnx

Are you sure you're pushing to the right remote? Run the command git remote -v and confirm that the origin remote is a repository you have access to. If not, push to the remote you do have access to like:

git push -u <remote name> <branch name>

This will set your local branch up to track the given remote branch, so that git push will push to that by default. You may also need to change the setting of push.default if it has been changed.

Try following steps

git config --global --edit

Then add following to conf file

[credential]
  helper = osxkeychain
  useHttpPath = true

Make sure the remote is your repository:

$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife.git (push)

If that is not yours, change it like this:

$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (push)

An then try to push again

$ git push origin master

Try 

git push origin master

if this is the first time you're pushing to this forked repository
