Remote: Repository not found but Error: remote origin already exists

Question

I am all of a sudden having trouble doing a push (i.e. git push origin master). When I do I get prompted for my personal access token which is not expired (I double checked). Once I log in, then I get the error:

remote: Repository not found

fatal: repository 'https://github.com/username/repo-name/' not found

I tried git remote set-url origin https://github.com/username/repo-name which produced no errors but when I try the push again it the same thing as above happens.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

To add to it, I did `git remote add origin git@github.com:username/repo-name.git` and it gives me: `error: remote origin already exists` — user2382321, Dec 07 '21 at 19:41
I have also tried removing the origin (i.e. `git remote rm origin`) and then adding it back in but still getting the same original `Repository not found` issue — user2382321, Dec 07 '21 at 19:53

I found this answer: Git - remote: Repository not found

I needed to check the write:packages. I forgot to do that when I created my new PAT.

then you shouldn't make that an answer. Your question is a duplicate. When users pollute stack overflow with duplicate questions, it make it harder for people to find existing answers to their questions. You should always exhaust existing questions before adding a new one. – Inigo Dec 07 '21 at 20:13
