Git push u origin main ошибка

I have my project on GitHub at some location, git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git.

Now I want to push all my code to a new repository at some other location, git@github.com:newname/newrep.git.

I used the command:

git remote add origin git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git

but I am receiving this:

fatal: remote origin already exists.

You can simply edit your configuration file in a text editor.

In the ~/.gitconfig you need to put in something like the following:

[user]
        name  = Uzumaki Naruto
        email = myname@example.com

[github]
        user = myname
        token = ff44ff8da195fee471eed6543b53f1ff

In the oldrep/.git/config file (in the configuration file of your repository):

[remote "github"]
        url = git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git
        push  = +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
        push  = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*

If there is a remote section in your repository’s configuration file, and the URL matches, you need only to add push configuration. If you use a public URL for fetching, you can put in the URL for pushing as ‘pushurl’ (warning: this requires the just-released Git version 1.6.4).

I had the same issue, and here is how I fixed it, after doing some research:

1. Download GitHub for Windows, or use something similar, which includes a shell.
2. Open the Git Shell from the task menu. This will open a power shell including Git commands.
3. In the shell, switch to your old repository, e.g. cd C:\path\to\old\repository.
4. Show the status of the old repository.

• Type git remote -v to get the remote path for fetch and push remote. If your local repository is connected to a remote, it will show something like this:

   origin  https://user@bitbucket.org/team-or-user-name/myproject.git (fetch)
   origin  https://user@bitbucket.org/team-or-user-name/myproject.git (push)
  

• If it’s not connected, it might show origin only.

1. Now remove the remote repository from the local repository by using

   git remote rm origin
   

2. Check again with git remote -v, as in step 4. It should show origin only, instead of the fetch and push path.

3. Now that your old remote repository is disconnected, you can add the new remote repository. Use the following to connect to your new repository:

Note: In case you are using Bitbucket, you would create a project on Bitbucket first. After creation, Bitbucket will display all required Git commands to push your repository to remote, which look similar to the next code snippet. However, this works for other repositories as well.

cd /path/to/my/repo # If you haven't done that yet.
git remote add mynewrepo https://user@bitbucket.org/team-or-user-name/myproject.git
git push -u mynewrepo master # To push changes for the first time.

That’s it.

1. git remote rm origin

2. git remote -v
   It will not display any repository name

3. git remote add origin git@github.com:username/myapp.git

4. git push origin master
   It will start the process and creating the new branch.
   You can see your work is pushed to github.

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/myapp.git

The below two commands should help set up.

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/NEW_REPO.git
    
git push --set-upstream origin main

You don’t have to remove your existing «origin» remote, just use a name other than «origin» for your remote add, e.g.

git remote add github git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git

I had the same problem when I first set up using Bitbucket.

My problem was that I needed to change the word origin for something self-defined. I used the name of the application. So:

git remote add AppName https://someone@bitbucket.org/somewhere/something.git

You should change the name of the remote repository to something else.

git remote add origin git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git

to

git remote add neworigin git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git

I think this should work.

Yes, these are for repository init and adding a new remote. Just with a change of name.

You could also change the repository name you wish to push to in the REPOHOME/.git/config file

(where REPOHOME is the path to your local clone of the repository).

You need to check the origin and add if not exists.

if ! git config remote.origin.url >/dev/null; then
    git remote add origin git@github.com:john/doe.git
fi

Create file check.sh, paste the script update your git repository URL and run ./check.sh.

I had the same issue but I found the solution to it. Basically «origin» is another name from where your project was cloned. Now the error

fatal: remote origin already exists.

LITERALLY means origin already exists. And hence to solve this issue, our goal should be to remove it.
For this purpose:

git remote rm origin

Now add it again

git remote add origin https://github.com/__enter your username here__/__your repositoryname.git__

This did fix my issue.

I just faced this issue myself and I just removed it by removing the origin.
the origin is removed by this command

git remote rm origin

if you’ve added the remote repo as origin try implementing this command.

Try to remove first existing origin, In order to see the which existing origin has registered with bash you can fire below command.

 git remote -v 

after you know the which version of origin has register with bash then you can remove existing origin by firing below command

git remote rm origin

Once you removed existing origin you can add new origin by firing below command in you case ..

git remote add origin git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git

Once you add your origin in git, then you can push your local commit to remote origin

git push -u origin --all

Step:1

git remote rm origin

Step:2

git remote add origin enter_your_repository_url

Example:

git remote add origin https://github.com/my_username/repository_name.git

if you want to create a new repository with the same project inside the github and the previous Remote is not allowing you to do that in that case First Delete That Repository on github then you simply need to delete the .git folder C:\Users\Shiva\AndroidStudioProjects\yourprojectname\.git delete that folder,(make sure you click on hidden file because this folder is hidden )

Also click on the minus(Remove button) from the android studio Setting->VersionControl
click here for removing the Version control from android And then you will be able to create new Repository.
