I was happily using git on my old Mac (Leopard), then migrated to a new (Lion) Mac. I installed Github for Mac, and I can clone repositories using that – but not from Terminal.

Any git clone from Terminal gets:

fatal: https://github.com/user/repository.git/info/refs download error – The requested URL returned error: 403

Any git pull from Terminal gets:

fatal: https://github.com/user/repository.git/info/refs download error – The requested URL returned error: 401

Do I need to start again and generate new keys? I assumed everything would be migrated with my user account (the contents of ~/.ssh are unchanged).

    You are using https url and ssh keys don’t even matter. Make sure you have your user.name and email for git configured properly in your new Mac ( and while you are at it, config github.user and github.token as well)
