Body

Hi All,
I got an error while i am try to connect through "Pull Request" section at left side of my InteliJIDE saying like this
"Could not connect to repository github.com/kkithmina/TerryJavaU with account github.com/kkithmina Request response: Access to this site has been restricted. If you believe this is an error, please contact https://support.github.com"

I tried to authorized github via Intelij through webpage and it get worked and also there is another option to generate token access and i generated token and paste it and hit the login button but i get same message, How should i solve this?

In the meantime, push and commit functions are working and my repo is also updating realtime,

I am facing the same issue in pycharm. @kkithmina did you find a solution to this by any chance?

I had the same issue. In my case, it was caused by missing permissions on the GitHub token. I fixed it by generating a new fine-grained token with the right scopes:

Repository access: selected the repo

Permissions:

• Contents: Read and write

• Pull requests: Read and write

Then I removed the old GitHub account from IntelliJ (Settings > Version Control > GitHub), added the new token, and restarted IntelliJ. The "Pull Requests" tab started working again.

If you're still stuck, check if your network or firewall is blocking access to GitHub’s API. I got a similar error once due to network restrictions.
