Git push: “fatal 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository - fatal Could not read from remote repository.”

Question

I know similar questions have already been asked.

But, I believe my issue is due to a mistake I have previously made and therefore is different: let me explain.

Answer 1

As Matt Clark stated above

However, origin might not be set, so skip the deleting step and simply attempting to add can clear this up.

git remote add origin <"clone">

Where "clone" is simply going into your GitHub repo and copying the "HTTPS clone URL" and pasting into GitBash
