git-receive-pack not permitted on Push

I am using EGit in Eclipse, and attempting to push to Github. I made a commit locally, and then tried to push it upstream. I got this error:

 Can't connect to any URI: https://github.com/Buroa/Konklex.git (An internal Exception occurred during push: https://github.com/Buroa/Konklex.git: git-receive-pack not permitted)

I can't seem to find a way around it. Am I missing something here?

I know this is a old thread, but I struggled with the same for more than an hour today and finally found out this happened because on my egit push dialog window i had used a different userid

Once i entered the right github user, the push to the remote repository went through fine.
