| Adding a remote | To add a new remote, use the `git remote add` command on the terminal, in the directory your repository is stored at. |
|
|
The git remote add command takes two arguments:
- A remote name, for example,
origin - A remote URL, for example,
https://{% data variables.command_line.backticks %}/user/repo.git
For example:
$ git remote add origin https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/<em>user</em>/<em>repo</em>.git
# Set a new remote
$ git remote -v
# Verify new remote
> origin https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/<em>user</em>/<em>repo</em>.git (fetch)
> origin https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/<em>user</em>/<em>repo</em>.git (push)
Not sure which URL to use? Check out "Which remote URL should I use?"
Troubleshooting
You may encounter these errors when trying to add a remote.
Remote name already exists
This error means you've tried to add a remote with a name that already exists in your local repository:
$ git remote add origin https://{% data variables.command_line.codeblock %}/octocat/Spoon-Knife
> fatal: remote origin already exists.
To fix this, you can
- Use a different name for the new remote
- Rename the existing remote
- Delete the existing remote
