Git GitHub cannot push; how to fix?

Question

In GitHub, by mistake, I created a repository https://github.com/myidmyrepo.git (incorrect instead of) https://github.com/myid/myrepo.git (correct).

1. I do not see the incorrect repo in GitHub, so I cannot delete it.
2. Now, I created https://github.com/myid/myrepo.git (correct) but git push --set-upstream origin master remote: Not Found fatal: repository 'https://github.com/myidmyrepo.git/' not found

git push -u origin master error: src refspec maste does not match any error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/myidmyrepo.git'

Please, help.

Answer 1

You need to use the following command:

git remote set-url origin "https://github.com/myid/myrepo.git"

This command changes the remote origin URL to the correct one. Then, you can push your work normally.

Answer 2

You've described two different error messages, and the differences between them are important:

git push --set-upstream origin master
remote: Not Found
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/myidmyrepo.git/' not found

This error is due to having the wrong URL stored under the name origin.

To fix that, use git remote set-url origin as shown in Moemen's answer, or use git config --edit to edit .git/config in your favorite text editor—make sure it's one that won't damage a Git configuration—to correct the URL stored under the remote name origin.

git push -u origin master
error: src refspec master does not match any
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/myidmyrepo.git'

This error is different (though it still has the wrong URL) as it says src refspec master does not match any. This is a duplicate of many previous questions, including Message 'src refspec master does not match any' when pushing commits in Git. The message itself simply means that you have nothing named master, either because you're using some other branch name, or because you have no commits yet, or both.
