Question

fatal: remote origin already exists.

$ git push -u origin master
fatal: \'EvolutionApp\' does not appear         


        

Answer 1

You might have to add the remote again. That error message happens when Git doesn't know where to push to.

Use git remote -v check if the remote exists, if not, add it.

Even then if it doesn't work try removing the GIT_SSH environment variable, this maybe causing the problem.

Answer 2

check if you are using https as remote url instead of ssh. I set my remote url to http and encountered this issue. After resetting the url to ssh protocol the problem is gone.

Answer 3

This can happen if you have an incomplete remote entry in your global config.

Run git config -e --system, comment out any [remote entries, re-add the remote, and try again.

Answer 4

Try and redefine the ssh url for remote origin:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:lut/EvolutionApp.git

And try again
