Taken from Git push everything to new origin

basically you have to associate a new repo to your folder

Delete git and re-init.

Your purpose is probably to put this repo on yours and make it yours.

The idea is to delete the .git/ and re-initialize.

1. go to your cloned repo folder rm -rf .git
2. re-initialize it and then add your remote and do your first push.

   git init
   git add .
   git commit -m "your commit message"
   git remote add origin 
   git push origin master
