ssh: Could not resolve hostname https: no address associated

Answer 1

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.
