git push gives fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:

Question

I did commit successfully in my local repository. When I try to do:

git push https://gitlab.com/priceinsight/jmt4manager/compare/develop...2-retrieve-list-us

I also understand that your question was solved, but since I had a different solution and this is the top search result for the error, here's my ten cents...

I simply had the wrong repo string. In the GCP repo viewer they given you a HEAD URL that's NOT the same as the remote URI that you should use. In my case, the HEAD URL provided in the "Links" drop-down in the web console was:

https://source.cloud.google.com/[PROJECT]/[REPO]/+/master:

(of course I removed the "/+/master:" at the end)

Whereas my actual (correct, working) repo URL is:

https://source.developers.google.com/p/[PROJECT]/r/[REPO]

I got the format from this page. Not sure why this isn't one of the options in the web portal, but oh well.

Hope this helps someone else!
