GitHub "fatal: remote origin already exists"
In Short,
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin [email protected]:username/myapp.git
Worked !
Cheers!
TL;DR you should just update the existing remote:
$ git remote set-url origin [email protected]:ppreyer/first_app.git
Long version:
As the error message indicates, there is already a remote configured with the same name. So you can either add the new remote with a different name or update the existing one if you don't need it:
To add a new remote, called for example github
instead of origin
(which obviously already exists in your system), do the following:
$ git remote add github [email protected]:ppreyer/first_app.git
Remember though, everywhere in the tutorial you see "origin" you should replace it with "github". For example $ git push origin master
should now be $ git push github master
.
However, if you want to see what that origin
which already exists is, you can do a $ git remote -v
. If you think this is there by some error, you can update it like so:
$ git remote set-url origin [email protected]:ppreyer/first_app.git
