terminal - Github "fatal: remote origin already exists" -
i trying follow along michael hartl's rails tutorial i've run across error.
i signed on github , issued new ssh key , made new repository. when enter next line terminal following error:
parkers-macbook-pro:.ssh ppreyer$ git remote add origin git@github.com:ppreyer/first_app.git fatal: remote origin exists. just wondered if else has run across problem?
tl;dr should update existing remote:
$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:ppreyer/first_app.git long version:
as error message indicates, there remote configured same name. can either add new remote different name or update existing 1 if don't need it:
to add new remote, called example github instead of origin (which exists in system), following:
$ git remote add github git@github.com:ppreyer/first_app.git remember though, everywhere in tutorial see "origin" should replace "github". example $ git push origin master should $ git push github master.
however, if want see origin exists is, can $ git remote -v. if think there error, can update so:
$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:ppreyer/first_app.git
