How to use Git Remote Add Origin 

Thanks so much for the kind words! Many of my older Git videos were recorded with cheap mics and no video, so I'm trying to update a bunch of them and make them more current. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!

Did you stick around for the cheat method at the 19:20 mark? Honestly makes things super simple if your repo isn't huge. Save you from doing a forced push or git rebase after the git remote add origin command. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

@@cameronmcnz how to deal with open source projects and the git operations we must know for it might be a great content. I hope you will do that👍

@@mruthulm6187 I think that's a great idea! And I know an open source project that might actually be perfect for that!

You didn't just view, but you commented as well. That's actually a big help because it wakes up the RU-vid algo. Thanks for watching!

Glad I helped! Lots of people run into problems with Git's remote add origin command. Hopefully this clears things up and makes life a bit easier. Git and GitHub an GitLab etc get a lot easier once you're connected to your Git repo!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. One day I’ll win the RU-vid algo. Imma just keep plugging along.

I'll make that update. What's the short note I should add in? To remind people to check the name of the branch, and make sure there's not a main/master mismatch? I'll update the description of both videos.

@@cameronmcnz The problem only occurred because when creating the Github repository, I created a MIT license too because that’s what my proj uses. In your vid, there was no error because your repo was created empty. So I renamed using -M main which resulted in 2 branches named main. I reverted back to master (locally), committing it and then deleted main. So, the short way to put in descr (in case someone did not create empty repo) is to just say something like “you might run into a glitch 😏 at 00:43:00. if you get an error when tryin to commit new repository, watch this video….” That’s short. If at all possible in your video, if it’s not too much work to edit vid, all you gotta do is tell them to make sure they leave their Github repo empty when creating. Anyone who followed your vid exactly would not have run into that problem so wouldn’t even know there could be a problem. 🙃

@@nlegacysolo I'll make that update for sure. I make these videos to try and help people avoid those frustrating experiences. RU-vid doesn't let you edit a video once it's update, so that's limiting, but I'll make a note in the description for sure. I'll go look if their editing tools for uploaded videos have changed. Basically, they don't want someone to upload a video about one thing, get people to share it, and then change the content into something vile or vulgar. So as a creator it's frustrating when you upload something and can't make changes, but it's sorta understandable from RU-vid's perspective.

You are trying to authenticate using your account password, which you're not allowed to do anymore. Instead, you need to generate an access token and then use the token as your password. I have a quick video on it here. The UI has changed a little bit but not much. Hope this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m5SChqEi314.htmlsi=GhvzcdLpkPWNJST2

Thank you so much. I just found your previous tutorial about this problem and helped me a lot. Thank you again.

You can also use the SSH method (separate tab on GH) vs HTTPS to generate some push code examples with your repo
