Description

I was trying to push to a repo where I didn't have write access and got a 403 error. The error message in GitUp only says "unexpected HTTP status code: 403". When using git from the shell, it also shows "remote: Write access to repository not granted."

Obviously that would be very valuable information to include in the error popup in gitup as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate where HTTP responses are parsed for push operations, specifically the error handling for 403 status codes. Check if additional error details from the remote server are being dropped or not forwarded to the UI layer.
