fatal: No such remote 'origin' (after git remote set-url origin https://...)

[robert kofler]

My code is already tracked by Git

If your code is already tracked by Git then add this repository as a new repository that you can push to.

I cd to /path/to/my/already_tracked/.git

git remote set-url origin https://user:server:port/scm/ABC/my_stash_repo.git

leads to:

fatal: No such remote 'origin'

also a "git remote -v " does not show the above stash-repo.

what is wrong in my thinking?

[Stefan Saasen · Accepted solution]

The above will only work if you've either cloned the repository or manually added a remote called origin.

If "git remote -v" doesn't show you any remotes you can simply add a remote using:

git remote add origin https://username@stash/scm/PROJECT/repo.git

The name of the remote doesn't have to be "origin" and can be any name that makes it easier for you to identify that particular remote (e.g. "stash").

HTH,

Stefan

Dude, 7 years later and you are still saving lives

[Daniel Russell]

Yeah. I don't get it. I'm pretty new to git and thoroughly frustrated and confused at this stage. But at any rate, I think this should work and doesnt. Here's my git remote -v: 

origin https://github.com/danielmrussell/Vulkan-Loader.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/danielmrussell/Vulkan-Loader.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader.git (push)

And weirdly, I somehow managed to submit a Pull Request from the extension finally, despite the fact that I am still getting flooded with these error messages:

What gives?

[Alex McDowell]

8 years later and you're still saving lives. Thank you so much!!!!!

It would be nice if the Stash instructions on the new empty repo page mentioned this.

[Michael Kotthaus]

Yes, I also noticed that the remote must be added, before you can specify an URL with set-url.
