Git error 400 when doing push

When I do a git push I come up with this error:

error: The requested URL returned error: 400 while accessing https://github.com/nathandunn97/SchoolAdvisor.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack fatal: HTTP request failed

I am using Ubuntu 13.04 and my git version is 1.8.1.2.

I has something similar to this on an internally hosted git repository (so I am not 100% sure it will fix your problem on github). "Git pull" worked fine, but "git push" gave me:

error: The requested URL returned error: 400 while accessing http://10.3.231.11/fisheye/git/myrep.git/info/refs

What worked for me was going into.git/config, and changing the url to include my username in the url:

[remote "origin"]
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    url = http://[email protected]/fisheye/git/myrep.git

It then asked for a password after the push command, then pushed the files successfully.

When you do a push with https you might need to write your password every time. generate ssh keys for git hub

https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

and then update your config file to the ssh url and you should be able to push your content.
