Hello, While I push code, it appears that github denies permission. But I gave the permission. I even remove it and add it again. I don’t understand.

Ran into this similar problem. How I’ve fixed it, is to set a User Key. Open the Project → Settings → SSH Keys → User Key. Pick a user who can read-write to the repository and now it’ll checkout and action as your user. Alternatively, you can log in as a machine / bot user and do the same and it’ll action as that user. ---
