Change Git Account

[Angus Ferguson]

Hi,

I have two Git accounts the old one and the new one. I used the console to push my files from my local to my Git repo. Now I changed and when I push it still sends the files to the old one.

I use this:

echo "# leanRouteWeb" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/IDuraGit/leanRouteWeb.git
git push -u origin master

It shows a messages like this:

Isaacs-Mac-mini:test isaac$ git init
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/isaac/NetBeansProjects/test/.git/

Isaacs-Mac-mini:test isaac$ git commit -m "Moving LeanRouteWeb"
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working directory clean

Isaacs-Mac-mini:test isaac$ git remote add leanRouteOrigin1 https://github.com/IDuraGit/leanRouteWeb.git
fatal: remote leanRouteOrigin1 already exists.

Isaacs-Mac-mini:test isaac$ git push -u origin master
Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.
Everything up-to-date

I have changed the name of the origin and it sais that all is up to date. In reality the repository is empty.

Any idea, please?

Regards, Isaac

Check how many remotes you actually have. Type:

git remote -v

Then you can delete one or the other remote as necessary.

The documentation for git remote shows how to delete remotes you no longer want. Remember: the remote is just a label or name.
