Note: The “fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository” error occurs when you try to push code to a remote Git repository without telling Git the exact location of the remote repository. To solve this error, use the git remote add command to add a remote to your project.
For the second situation, you need to initialize the Git repository in your project folder. To do so, you need to navigate to the correct folder and then run the command git init , which will create a new empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one.
The “… does not a appear to be a git repository” error is triggered when you try to clone, or run other commands, in a directory that is not recognized as a Git repository. The directory or remote file path might not have initialized Git, or the file path you are trying to access as an active repository is incorrect.
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:
[email protected]:/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 [email protected]:/gittest.git If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
