Question

nshastri@N-SHASTRI ~/datasciencecoursera (master)
$ git push origin master

ssh: Could not resolve hostname https: no address associated with name

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

so, what's your actual question? – vratojr Sep 19 '14 at 10:22 — vratojr, Sep 19 '14 at 10:22

Simply type:

git remote -v

and double-check the url associated with origin for your upstream repo.

Once you have the right url, update your remote origin with another git remote command:

git remote set-url origin /the/right/url

In your case, the url is wrong:

https:/github.com/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera.git
# instead of:
https://github.com/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera.git
     ^^^^

Simply type:

git remote set-url origin https://nkshastri@github.com/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera

Then try again:

git push -u origin master

(with master, not maaster)

Thanks for help I tried doing it and still no success. I am posting a screen shot for reference. – Narendra Kumar Shastri Sep 22 '14 at 08:53
@NarendraKumarShastri what os and git version are you using? – VonC Sep 22 '14 at 09:05
My os is windows 7 Git bash version is version 1.9.4-preview20140815 – Narendra Kumar Shastri Sep 24 '14 at 05:53
@NarendraKumarShastri what is the output of `git remote -v` (no screenshot, just the text) – VonC Sep 24 '14 at 05:56
I am not able to post sceen shot so output is:nshastri@N-SHASTRI ~/datasciencecoursera (master) $ git remote -v origin https:/github.com/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera.git (fetch) origin https:/github.com/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera.git (push) – Narendra Kumar Shastri Sep 26 '14 at 07:08
@NarendraKumarShastri Perfect, the text output is always better than a picture. I have edited my answer, and suggested a solution. – VonC Sep 26 '14 at 07:11
I am not able to execute push command as I am receiving error as ssh: Could not resolve hostname https: no address associated with name fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. – Narendra Kumar Shastri Sep 26 '14 at 07:12
@NarendraKumarShastri if you see "https", it is not an error 'as ssh' (it has nothing to do with ssh). Simply type the `git remote set-url` I suggest in my answer, then try again. – VonC Sep 26 '14 at 07:13
Thanks a ton. I am able to change the origin however I am still not able to push getting following error: – Narendra Kumar Shastri Sep 29 '14 at 06:47

This is usually caused by another repository pushing hint: to the same ref. You may want to first integrate the remote changes hint: (e.g., 'git pull ...') before pushing again. hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details. – Narendra Kumar Shastri Sep 29 '14 at 06:49
@NarendraKumarShastri sure, do a `git pull --rebase` first. Then push. – VonC Sep 29 '14 at 06:54
@NarendraKumarShastri see more at https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/syncing/git-pull/#pulling-via. The other option would be to make sure you create an **empty** repo on GitHub – VonC Sep 29 '14 at 07:04
Getting following error: failed to push some refs to 'https://nkshastri@github.com/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera.git' hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind hint: its remote counterpart.

@NarendraKumarShastri that seems to be an entirely **unrelated** question. Please make it an independent question, and accept the current answer for the current question (the one at the top of the page, the one you initially asked) – VonC Dec 02 '14 at 09:20
Sorry for the confusion. I am able to sync and push my work to repo. Thanks for all your support. I accept the answer for current question. No more issues. Thanks once again. – Narendra Kumar Shastri Dec 03 '14 at 11:30

Sometimes this can be caused by a network issue. Try restarting your wifi or, if the repository is behind a VPN, make sure you are on the VPN.

You are probably trying to connect a FALSE NAME DIR your repository name should be the SAME as your folder name in local environment.

git repo: gitRepo folder name: gitRepo now you can push

it is also a good practice to first CLONE your new repository to a different folder and then you can COPY your code to this new folder and then change its name to the right git repository name.

This solution is applicable only for small projects...

To get around this... I created a new directory with files having the same name as in the old directory.

Simply copy-pasted the code from old files to the corresponding files of the new directory...

Then did the usual command chain...

git remote add URL_OF_YOUR_REPO
git branch -M main
git status
git add .
git commit -m "Problem Solved!"
git push -u origin main

Didn't face any error after this. Useful for small repos.
