Update origin after renaming the repository name

Question

I am trying to push my project files to my repository. But when I do that I get errors as in following screenshot.

I had a repository in that project file before and I deleted it. Now I have created another repository with a different name in that project file. But I get these errors now. Please tell me what I should do.

Remove your current remote and add a new one. Check `git remote` commands — Nico Van Belle, Jul 10 '17 at 12:18

To update the origin to the new repository.

git remote set-url origin <new-url>

In your case, paste the command below if you updated your remote repo as per name suggested.

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/BSThisarasinghe/Sabra-Medical-Center.git

You need to update your remote settings.

First remove the old origin: git remote remove origin

Next, add the updated url: git remote add origin _new url_

After that, confirm everything looks good with git remote -v and you should be able to push again.
