Git push fatal origin does not appear to be a git repository - fatal Could not read from remote repository

Question

I know similar questions have already been asked   But  I believe my issue is due to a mistake I have previously made and therefore is different  let me explain   Everything was working smoothly  as I could    git add   all the files from my local repository  git commit -m  message here  to add messages to my commits  git push origin master to upload my files to GitHub  git push heroku master to upload my files to Heroku    However  at some point  I created a new branch locally called add-calendar-model in case next steps of the app development would go south         which is exactly what happened   However  despite many attempts  I did not manage to get the initial code     i e  the code from before I created the new branch     from the master branch to my local repository   So  I decided to manually delete all the files from my local repository and git clone my master branch from GitHub   This way  I got all my files back  but now  I cannot push any more to the remote repository   Any time I try to run git push origin add-calendar-model or git push origin master  I get the following error   fatal   origin  does not appear to be a git repository fatal  Could not read from remote repository   Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists    I am not very comfortable with Git and GitHub  as you may have guessed by now  and I have to admit that I have no clue about how to fix this   Any idea

if you add your remote repository by using git clone then follow the steps:-

git clone <repo_url> then

git init

git add * *means add all files

git commit -m 'your commit'

git remote -v for check any branch run or not if not then nothing show then we add or fetch the repository. "fetch first". You need to run git pull origin <branch> or git pull -r origin <branch> before a next push.

then

git remote add origin <git url>
 git pull -r origin master
git push -u origin master```

What fixed this for me was re-setting my origin url  git remote set-url origin https   github com username example repo git And then I was able to successfully git push my project  I had to do this even though when I viewed my origins with git remote -v  that the urls were same as what I re-set it as

Make sure the config file at  git is correct   Check URL  amp  Make sure your using the correct protocol for your keys    ProjectWorkspace  git config     Wrong url for git bitbucket  core      repositoryformatversion   0     filemode   true     bare   false     logallrefupdates   true  remote  origin       url   gitbucket org Prezyack project-one-hello git     fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin      Wrong URL for SSH     core      repositoryformatversion   0     filemode   true     bare   false     logallrefupdates   true     ignorecase   true     precomposeunicode   true  remote  origin       fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin       url   https   emmap1 bitbucket org emmap1 bitbucketspacestation git  branch  master       remote   origin     merge   refs heads master   We are looking at the URL     e g  For bitbucket  expect git bitbucket org    If its gitbucket org  make the necessary changes   SAVE Try pushing again

As Matt Clark stated above  However  origin might not be set  so skip the deleting step and simply attempting to add can clear this up   git remote add origin  lt  clone  gt    Where  clone  is simply going into your GitHub repo and copying the  HTTPS clone URL  and pasting into GitBash

Sometimes you don t have a local REF for pushing that branch back to the origin  Try   git push origin master master   This explicitly indicates which branch to push to  and from

First  check that your origin is set by running  git remote -v   This should show you all of the push   fetch remotes for the project    If this returns with no output  skip to last code block   Verify remote name   address  If this returns showing that you have remotes set  check that the name of the remote matches the remote you are using in your commands    git remote -v myOrigin ssh   git example com 1234 myRepo git  fetch  myOrigin ssh   git example com 1234 myRepo git  push     this will fail because  origin  is not set  git push origin master    you need to use  git push myOrigin master   If you want to rename the remote or change the remote s URL  you ll want to first remove the old remote  and then add the correct one   Remove the old remote   git remote remove myOrigin   Add missing remote  You can then add in the proper remote using   git remote add origin ssh   git example com 1234 myRepo git    this will now work as expected  git push origin master

This is the way I updated the master branch This kind of error occurs commonly after deleting the initial code on your project So  go ahead  first of all  verify the actual remote version  then remove the origin add the comment  and copy the repo URL into the project files    git remote -v   git remote rm origin   git commit -m  quot your commit quot    git remote add origin https   github com user repo git   git push -f origin master

I had the same issue  When I checked my config file I noticed that  fetch    refs heads  refs remotes origin   was on the same line as  url   Z  GIT REPOS SEL git  as shown    core      repositoryformatversion   0     filemode   false     bare   false     logallrefupdates   true     symlinks   false     ignorecase   true  remote  origin       url   Z  GIT REPOS SEL git     fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin    branch  master       remote   origin     merge   refs heads master  gui      wmstate   normal     geometry   1109x563 32 32 216 255   At first I did not think that this would have mattered but after seeing the post by Magere I moved the line and that fixed the problem    core      repositoryformatversion   0     filemode   false     bare   false     logallrefupdates   true     symlinks   false     ignorecase   true  remote  origin       url   Z  GIT REPOS SEL git     fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin    branch  master       remote   origin     merge   refs heads master  gui      wmstate   normal     geometry   1109x563 32 32 216 255

These two steps worked for me  Step 1  git remote set-url origin https   github com username example repo git  Step 2  git push --set-upstream -f origin main  Step 3  your username and password for github On step 2  -f is actually required because of the rebase  quote from this post

A similar error appears while pulling the changes from the origin  If you are trying in Intellij from the menu options  the pull might not work directly   Go to terminal and type this command and this should work out  git pull origin master

User · Answer

It works for me  git remote add origin https   github com repo git git push origin master  add the repository URL to the origin in the local working directory

[git] Git push: "fatal 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository - fatal Could not read from remote repository."
