I am a bit new to git, and as a result I have gotten myself into a git mess. I have an Xcode 4.5 project. In the command line I have been managing its local git repo as well as a remote repo on github that the local one is linked to. All was well until I decided to delete the remote repo on the GitHub website (called PictureFly) and create a new remote repo on the GitHub website (called PhotoFly). I would like my local repo to be unlinked to the old remote repo (PictureFly) and linked to the new remote repo (PhotoFly). Seems simple, but no matter what command I enter, I get one fatal warning or another. Here is a typical example of what I have been doing:
My attempts to remove the old remote origin:
//first attempt
git push origin :https://github.com/jac300/PictureFly.git
//first error
fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in
:https://github.com/jac300/PictureFly.git
//second attempt
git push origin :PictureFly.git
//second set of errors
fatal: 'git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
//third attempt
git push origin --delete PictureFly
//third set of errors
fatal: 'git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
//fourth attempt
git push origin --delete https://github.com/jac300/PictureFly.git
//fourth set of errors
fatal: 'git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
Then I thought maybe I can just add the new remote repo:
git remote add origin https://github.com/jac300/PhotoFly.git
fatal: remote origin already exists. //how does it already exist?
So since it "already exists" I tried to push to that repo:
git push -u origin master
fatal: 'git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
I have no idea what is happening or how to fix it. Any help is appreciated.
You can easily remove the repo on GitHub and create a new empty one from the website. So now you're stuck with your remotes pointing to the wrong url. To fix:
git remote set-url origin https://new.url.here

a few of us use a bare repository on a network share ( u:\data\some_repo.git) and this works fine with the expected limitations
However, just recently I have been unable to perform any typical git activities associated with the bare respository: push pull clone.
All activities fail with:
fatal: 'u:\data\some_repo.git' does not appear to be a
git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository
exists.
I do have access and I can browse this location fine. If I copy some_repo.git to my local machine and do a git clone /c/Temp/some_repo.git it works.
There is no latency issue, I have full access, I have tried prepending file:/// with no luck. a GIT_TRACE does not show anything

Any idea how to resolve this
--update--
as requested, attempting to perform a git init:
/u/data/test.git
$ git init error: fstat on
//FQDN.com/site_###/Groups/data/test.git/.git/config failed: Invalid
argument fatal: could not set 'core.filemode' to 'false'
I have the exact same setup at work, with the same network drive (also named U:\!)
And I had the same issue at some point, apparently due to some background synchronisation/backup process which was keeping an handle on some of the files of the Git bare repository.
Try first to see if you can re-create a separate bare repo, for testing, and push to it:
git init U:\data\test.git
cd path\to\local\repo
git remote add origin2 U:\data\test.git
git push origin2 master
Hello i have a gitlab server and the web interface works just as ssh -T git#mijnstageportaal.nl,
but when i try to upload a folder to a blaco project its says this
git init
git remote add origin http://mijnstageportaal.nl/marijnboeve/sinterklaas-intocht
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
Reinitialized existing Git repository in

Most probably, you don't have a public key id_rsa at path /Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/.ssh.
You should generate it, e.g. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C "email#example.com" (see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ssh/).
Or, repository at http://mijnstageportaal.nl/marijnboeve/sinterklaas-intocht really doesn't exist. You can check it with your Web client, if possible, or ask a repository owner.
I created a Visual Studio project using git, later I created a remote bare repository in the path \\xxx.yyy.com\dfs\CORP\Wkg\MoDat\tmp\avl\Repository\WCF\MIlib and added it as origin in Visual Studio, then pushed.
Remote repository seems to be up to date, and from command line a git remote -v in the local folder returns these 2 lines
origin \corp.repower.com\dfs\CORP\Wkg\MoDat\tmp\avl\Repository\WCF\MIlib (fetch)
origin \corp.repower.com\dfs\CORP\Wkg\MoDat\tmp\avl\Repository\WCF\MIlib (push)
I assume I can clone to another local folder from the remote path, so I just copied and pasted exactly the line above to clone it elsewhere
git clone "\\xxx.yyy.com\dfs\CORP\Wkg\MoDat\tmp\avl\Repository\WCF\MIlib" .
Now I get an error
git : Cloning into '.'...
fatal: '\xxx.yyy.com\dfs\CORP\Wkg\MoDat\tmp\avl\Repository\WCF\MIlib' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I am cloning in the same system in another folder using the same (administrator) user, so it's definitly not relate to access right.
I see in the error that a \ is missing, am I doing something wrong? should the path be somehow escaped?
Are you writing these commands in some kind of bash?
When I was working on Windows I always used forward slashes / instead of backslashes. See if it works for you.
I clone my repo down and change something and commit,
but when I want to push like the tutorial:
git push heroku master
it tell me wrong:
fatal: 'heroku' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
I'm sure I have log in,
so how can I push my repo correctly and deploy it?
From Git Reference (http://gitref.org/remotes/#remote):
"So that you don't have to use the full URL of a remote repository every time you want to synchronize with it, Git stores an alias or nickname for each remote repository URL you are interested in. You use the git remote command to manage this list of remote repos that you care about."
You can check if remote named "heroku" exists for your git repo using:
git remote -v
If it doesn't exist, you need to add it before you can push updates as follows:
git remote add heroku git#heroku.com:appname.git
where appname should be the name of your app.
So I had a repo working by adding it to the htdocs in apache, however, I couldn't commit. So I set up SSH (I am using copSSH) and I can ssh into the server and see the files in my project.git. However I get the following when I try to clone...
$ git clone un#server:/home/un/Repositories/git/test.git/
Cloning into 'test'...
un#server's password:
fatal: '/home/un/Repositories/git/test.git/' does not appear to be a git re
pository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Any ideas?
Oops this did work...
git clone un#server:Repositories/git/test.git/
Must be an environment var issue
