git push >> fatal: no configured push destination

Question

I'm still going through some guides on RoR and I'm stuck here at Deploying The Demo App

I followed instructions:

With the completion of the Microposts resource, now is a good time to push the repository up to GitHub:

$ git add . $ git commit -a -m "Done with the demo app" $ git push 

What happened wrong here was the push part.. it outputted this:

$ git push fatal: No configured push destination. Either specify the URL from the command-line or configure a remote repository using git remote add <name> <url> git push <name> 

So I tried following the instructions by doing this command:

$ git remote add demo_app 'www.github.com/levelone/demo_app' fatal: remote demo_app already exists. 

So I push:

$ git push demo_app fatal: 'www.github.com/levelone/demo_app' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly 

What can I do here? Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You are referring to the section "2.3.5 Deploying the demo app" of this "Ruby on Rails Tutorial ":

In section 2.3.1 Planning the application, note that they did:

$ git remote add origin [email protected]:<username>/demo_app.git $ git push -u origin master 

That is why a simple git push worked (using here an ssh address).
Did you follow that step and made that first push?

 www.github.com/levelone/demo_app 

That would not be a writable URI for pushing to a GitHub repo.

https://[email protected]/levelone/demo_app.git 

This should be more appropriate.
Check what git remote -v returns, and if you need to replace the remote address, as described in GitHub help page, use git remote --set-url.

git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/levelone/demo_app.git # or  git remote set-url origin [email protected]:levelone/demo_app.git
