[Solved] Heroku & Github Error: item could not be retrieved unauthorized

 In this article, I am going to show you how to resolve Heroku and GitHub deployment errors (Heroku Error: item could not be retrieved unauthorized). It takes a lot of R&D to figure out why I have to face this issue/error.

Heroku Deployment Error: Item could not be retrieved unauthorized

The above error shows in red color in the top right corner of the Heroku window. After getting my head down in this error and after some hit and trial I found the issue with an authorization between the GitHub account and Heroku. And the reason is inactivity in the deployment of the GitHub repository that I have linked with Heroku.
