TortoiseGit error: "Remote name must not be empty"

Question

When I try to push using TortoiseGit to Bitbucket for initial source code, I got error:

Remote name must not be empty.

I've used TortoiseGit a lot of time and never got any problem with this error even though I never input any remote name. It happens only when I try to push. I could commit just fine.

How to solve this?

Answer 1

I solved it myself! I didn't follow the tutorial thoroughly.

Since this is a new repository, I have to add origin remote name first. If you use command line, this will do:

git remote add origin https://[email protected]/yourteam/yourrepo.git

If you want to do it in TortoiseGit, do this instead:

1. Click manage on the right of dropdown remote name choices
2. Add a remote name origin with URL https://[email protected]/yourteam/yourrepo.git
3. Choose it as a remote name then push!
