Git - fatal: remote origin already exists

Question

I can not create origin remotely with remote command:

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/LongKnight/git-basics.git fatal: remote origin already exists. 

To solve the error, I have tried this:

$ git remote -v origin $ git remote -v show origin 

It is not uploading the files from my local repository to the remote:

$ git push -u origin master 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. 

Does each repository have its own origin?

Solution: I was using the Powershell that came with Github or Git Shell as it is also called to do my tutorial, once I switched to Git Bash it worked fine.

Answer 1

A bit easier:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/LongKnight/git-basics.git 

That will replace the current origin with a new one.

Answer 2

try this

git remote rm origin

then,

git remote add origin https://yourLink
