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

It works for me.

git remote add origin https://github.com/repo.git
git push origin master

add the repository URL to the origin in the local working directory
