Git error: "remote: Repository not found. "

Question

Every time I try to execute the command git push -u origin master, Git generates a repository error not found.

I followed exactly the step by step that is written on Github. Below is everything I did until sending the push for you to see and try to help me:

• I created a private repository on Github without the file readme.md
• created a folder on my computer
• I opened Git on it

• I typed the following commands:

  echo "# test-git" >> README.md
  git init
  git add README.md
  git commit -m "first commit"
  git remote add origin https://github.com/usuario-do-git/nome-do-repositorio.git
  git push -u origin master
  

Soon after the following error is generated:

remote: Repository not found.

A friend of mine followed these steps and did not get this mistake, on the contrary, everything went right for her. I tried everything, I deleted even the account and created again, and again I repeated all the steps.

What I’m doing wrong to be thrown this mistake ?

Answer 1

First check that the remote repository is already being identified with the command git remote -v. If it is not listed, link the remote repository to your local repository with the command git remote add origin [email protected]:leocomelli/curso-git.git. Note that in your attempt you do not use the snippet [email protected]:. Add this snippet in the attempt and see if it works.
