I then cloned it on my local machine. It worked

Answer 1

I faced the same problem when I renamed my repository on GitHub. I tried to push at which point I got the error

fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I had to change the URL using

git remote set-url origin ssh://git@github.com/username/newRepoName.git

After this all commands started working fine. You can check the change by using

git remote -v

In my case after successfull change it showed correct renamed repo in URL

[aniket@alok Android]$ git remote -v
origin  ssh://git@github.com/aniket91/TicTacToe.git (fetch)
origin  ssh://git@github.com/aniket91/TicTacToe.git (push)
