Git push origin master not working

17.7K    Asked by HannahDyer in Big Data Hadoop , Asked on Jun 24, 2021

Although I could commit my change locally, I can not push to origin master

I run

$ git remote add origin git@github.com:username/test.git

I get

fatal: remote origin already exists.

I run

$ git push -u origin master
I get
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

What's wrong with this? Why git push origin master not working ?

 There are two ways to do this:

1st:-

 git remote set-url

example:-

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:username/test.git

2nd:-

What you need to do is change your 'origin' setting.you edit .git/config in your project root, something like this:

...

[remote "origin"]

url = git://user@dev.foo.com/git/repos/path

fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

...

or if your 'remote' is actually local:

...

[remote "origin"]

url = /path/to/repos/on/this/machine

fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

...

If git push origin master not working , all you need to do is edit that file with your favourite editor and change the URL = setting to your new location. Assuming the new repository is correctly set up and you have your URL right, you'll easily be able to push and pull to and from your new remote location.
