Update origin after renaming the repository name

Question

I am trying to push my project files to my repository. But when I do that I get errors as in following screenshot.

I had a repository in that project file before and I deleted it. Now I have created another repository with a different name in that project file. But I get these errors now. Please tell me what I should do.

Remove your current remote and add a new one. Check git remote commands — Nico Van Belle

To update the origin to the new repository.

git remote set-url origin <new-url>

In your case, paste the command below if you updated your remote repo as per name suggested.

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/BSThisarasinghe/Sabra-Medical-Center.git

You need to update your remote settings.

First remove the old origin: git remote remove origin

Next, add the updated url: git remote add origin _new url_

After that, confirm everything looks good with git remote -v and you should be able to push again.

is it necessary to push some changes after set new origin..?

Yes, setting the origin won't push...you need to invoke the push command after setting the origin
