fatal: does not appear to be a git repository

Question

Why am I getting this error when my git repository url is correct?

jitendra@JITENDRA-PC /c/mySite (master)
$ git push beanstalk master
fatal: \'git@skarp.bea         


        

Answer 1

I met a similar problem when I tried to store my existing repo in my Ubunt One account, I fixed it by the following steps:

Step-1: create remote repo

$ cd ~/Ubuntu\ One/
$ mkdir <project-name>
$ cd <project-name>
$ mkdir .git
$ cd .git
$ git --bare init

Step-2: add the remote

$ git remote add origin /home/<linux-user-name>/Ubuntu\ One/<project-name>/.git

Step-3: push the exising git reop to the remote

$ git push -u origin --all

Answer 2

This is typically because you have not set the origin alias on your Git repository.

Try

git remote add origin URL_TO_YOUR_REPO

This will add an alias in your .git/config file for the remote clone/push/pull site URL. This URL can be found on your repository Overview page.
