How do i reconnect to my remote repository from my local

Question

I cloned a repo from my team's repository which is in bitbucket. I created a new feature branch for myself and checked in some code to my remote feature branch. Suddenly I cannot connect to the remote repository anymore. When i run 'git push origin <my-feature-branch>, I keep getting 'fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:...' error which essentially is telling me that the URL does not work. I have updated changes in my local branch that i want to push to my remote branch. how do i do this without having to delete my local setup and create everything over again? I tried running git init but no luck. I am on mac, tried this from terminal as well as VS Code. Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

I keep getting fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:...

Redirections are a feature of http/https: a server, getting some request for some URL, sends back a 301, 302, 303, etc., code (see, e.g., this ServerFault answer or much more detailed Dr Link Check blog entry to tell you, or whoever sent the URL anyway, that they should be looking elsewhere.

When Git gets such a redirect, it can optionally follow the redirect, or complain (see What does the warning "redirecting to" actually mean? and the git config documentation for http.followRedirects). If the redirect itself is faulty, it won't be able to follow the redirect.

(The usual problem is that you're using the wrong URL in the first place. Check the URL carefully.)
