Android Studio Project says project is already on GitHub despite the fact I deleted repository.

Question

I deleted the project from GitHub and want to re-share (create new repository) it via Android Studio but it still thinks I have it up on GitHub. Is there a way to reset this?

Answer 1

On the Top Menu, Click Git->Manage Remotes and click the delete button.

Answer 2

Open the /.git/config file and delete the lines:

[remote "origin"]
    url = https://github.com/githubaccountname/MyProject.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Then open Android Studio and you will now be able to run the 'Share project on GitHub' without getting an error that it is already shared on github.
