You are referring to the section "2.3.5 Deploying the demo app" of this "Ruby on Rails Tutorial ":
In section 2.3.1 Planning the application, note that they did:
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:<username>/demo_app.git
$ git push origin master
That is why a simple git push
worked (using here an ssh address).
Did you follow that step and made that first push?
www.github.com/levelone/demo_app
wouldn't be a writable URI for pushing to a GitHub repo.
https://[email protected]/levelone/demo_app.git
should be more appropriate.
Check what git remote -v returns, and if you need to replace the remote address, as described in GitHub help page, use git remote --set-url
.
git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/levelone/demo_app.git
or
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:levelone/demo_app.git
