You ve got the syntax for the scp-style way of specifying a repository slightly wrong - it has to be    user  host xz path to repo git        as you can see in the git clone documentation   You should use instead the URL   git skarp beanstalkapp com  gittest git   i e  in the URL you re using  you missed out the    colon   To update the URL for origin you could do   git remote set-url origin git skarp beanstalkapp com  gittest git

my local and remote machines are both OS X  I was having trouble until I checked the file structure of the git repo that xCode Server provides me  Essentially everything is chmod 777   in that repo so to setup a separate non xCode repo on the same machine in my remote account there I did this   REMOTE MACHINE   Login to your account Create a master dir for all projects  mkdir git  chmod 775 git then cd into it make a project folder  mkdir project1  chmod 777 project1 then cd into it run command  git init  to make the repo this creates a  git dir  do command  chmod 777  git  then cd into it run command  chmod 777    to make all files in  git 777 mod cd back out to myproject1  cd     setup a test file in the new repo w command  touch test php  add it to the repo staging area with command  git add test php  run command  git commit -m  new file   to add file to repo run command  git status  and you should get  working dir clean  msg cd back to master dir with  cd     in the master dir make a symlink  ln -s project1 project1 git  run command  pwd  to get full path  in my case the full path was   Users myname git project1 git  write down the full path for later use in URL exit from the REMOTE MACHINE   LOCAL MACHINE   create a project folder somewhere  newproj1  with  mkdir newproj1  cd into it run command  git init  make an alias to the REMOTE MACHINE  the alias command format is  git remote add your alias here URL  make sure your URL is correct  This caused me headaches initially URL    ssh   user www somemachine com Users myname git project1 git  after you do  git remote add alias URL  do  git remote -v  the command should respond with a fetch and push line run cmd  git pull your alias master  to get test php from REMOTE repo after the command in  10 you should see a nice message  run command  git push --set-upstream your alias master   after command in 12 you should see nice message command in  12 sets up REMOTE as the project master  root    For me  i learned getting a clean start with a git repo on a LOCAL and REMOTE requires all initial work in a shell first  Then  after the above i was able to easily setup the LOCAL and REMOTE git repos in my IDE and do all the basic git commands using the GUI of the IDE   I had difficulty until I started at the remote first  then did the local  and until i opened up all the permissions on remote  In addition  having the exact full path in the URL to the symlink was critical to succeed   Again  this all worked on OS X  local and remote machines

I was facing same issue with my one of my feature branch  I tried above mentioned solution nothing worked  I resolved this issue by doing following things   git pull origin feature-branch-name git push

This is typically because you have not set the origin alias on your Git repository   Try  git remote add origin URL TO YOUR REPO   This will add an alias in your  git config file for the remote clone push pull site URL  This URL can be found on your repository Overview page

I have a similar problem  but now I know the reason   After we use git init  we should add a remote repository using   git remote add name url   Pay attention to the word name  if we change it to origin  then this problem will not happen   Of course  if we change it to py  then using git pull py branch and git push py branch every time you pull and push something will also be OK

I had a similar problem when using TFS 2017  I was not able to push or pull GIT repositories  Eventually I reinstalled TFS 2017  making sure that I installed TFS 2017 with an SSH Port different from 22  in my case  I chose 8022   After that  push and pull became possible against TFS using SSH

It is most likely that you got your repo s SSH URL wrong   To confirm  go to your repository on Github and click the clone or download button  Then click the use SSH link     Now copy your official repo s SSH link  Mine looked like this - git github com borenho que-ay git  You can now do git remote add origin git github com borenho que-ay git if you didn t have origin yet   If you had set origin before  change it by using git remote set-url origin git github com borenho que-ay git  Now push with git push -u origin master
