I'm having an issue where where pushes result in the following error (this happens on multiple repositories):

Remote "origin" does not support the Git LFS locking API. Consider disabling it with:
$ git config lfs.https://codeberg.org/RogerSmith/test.git/info/lfs.locksverify false
Enumerating objects: 3, done.
Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 430 bytes | 430.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 (from 0)
remote:
remote: Forgejo: User permission denied for writing.
To ssh://codeberg.org/RogerSmith/test.git
! [remote rejected] main -> main (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://codeberg.org/RogerSmith/test.git'

I don't seem to be having a general authentication issue as fetches are successful. There doesn't seem to be a general Codeberg issue as I have an older account I just tried and pushes are successful there. Help?

There is two issues here:

• Remote "origin" does not support the Git LFS locking API.
• remote: Forgejo: User permission denied for writing.

The first issue does not stop Git from pushing. The second issue does and it means Codeberg is rejecting the push because you don’t have "write permission" to that repository over SSH.

Try making a new key with "write permission" then trying again

Or else just use https://USERNAME:PAT_TOKEN@codeberg.org/USERNAME/REPO as origin

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Trying with a token was good advice. Doing so worked and seemed to show there was not an issue with my account on Codeberg's side. Eventually, I realized the problem was with my ssh agent (bitwarden), and restarting it resolved the issue. I feel a bit dumb for not trying that before posting, but the fact that fetches were working (over ssh) led me to believe there was not an authentication issue on my end. 🤔
