Github“致命：远程起源已经存在”

本文翻译自：Github “fatal: remote origin already exists”

I am trying to follow along Michael Hartl's Rails tutorial but I've run across an error. 我想跟随Michael Hartl的Rails教程，但我遇到了一个错误。

I signed up on Github and issued a new SSH key and made a new repository. 我在Github上注册并发布了一个新的SSH密钥并创建了一个新的存储库。 But when I enter the next line into the terminal I get the following error: 但是当我进入终端的下一行时，我收到以下错误：

Parkers-MacBook-Pro:.ssh ppreyer$ git remote add origin git@github.com:ppreyer/first_app.git
fatal: remote origin already exists.

Just wondered if anybody else has run across this problem? 只是想知道是否有其他人遇到过这个问题？

TL;DR you should just update the existing remote: TL; DR你应该只更新现有的遥控器：

$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:ppreyer/first_app.git

Long version: 长版：

As the error message indicates, there is already a remote configured with the same name. 如错误消息所示，已经配置了具有相同名称的远程。 So you can either add the new remote with a different name or update the existing one if you don't need it: 因此，您可以使用其他名称添加新远程，或者在不需要时更新现有远程：

To add a new remote, called for example github instead of origin (which obviously already exists in your system), do the following: 要添加一个新的远程，例如github而不是origin （显然已经存在于您的系统中），请执行以下操作：

$ git remote add github git@github.com:ppreyer/first_app.git

Remember though, everywhere in the tutorial you see "origin" you should replace it with "github" . 但请记住，在教程的任何地方，您都会看到“origin”，您应该将其替换为“github” 。 For example $ git push origin master should now be $ git push github master . 例如$ git push origin master现在应该是$ git push github master 。

However, if you want to see what that origin which already exists is, you can do a $ git remote -v . 但是，如果你想看看已存在的origin是什么，你可以做一个$ git remote -v 。 If you think this is there by some error, you can update it like so: 如果您认为这是由于某些错误，您可以像这样更新它：

$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:ppreyer/first_app.git

You can see what remote repositories you are configured to connect to via 您可以查看配置为通过哪些远程存储库连接

git remote -v

That will return a list in this format: 这将以这种格式返回一个列表：

origin  git@github.com:github/git-reference.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:github/git-reference.git (push)

That might help you figure out what the original 'origin' pointed to. 这可能会帮助你弄清楚原始的“起源”指向的是什么。

If you want to keep the remote connection that you see with the -v, but still want to follow the Rails tutorial without having to remember 'github' (or some other name) for your tutorial's repo, you can rename your other repository with the command: 如果你想保留你用-v看到的远程连接，但是仍然想要遵循Rails教程而不必记住教程的repo的'github'（或其他名称），你可以用你的命令重命名你的其他存储库命令：

git remote rename [current name] [new name]

as in: 如：

git remote rename origin oldrepo

You should then be able to resume your tutorial. 然后，您应该能够恢复教程。

For those of you running into the ever so common error "fatal: remote origin already exists.", or when trying to remove origin and you get "error: could not remove config section remote.origin", what you need to do is to set the origin manually. 对于那些遇到如此常见的错误“致命：远程来源已经存在。”，或者当试图删除原点而你得到“错误：无法删除配置部分remote.origin”时，你需要做的是手动设置原点。

Window's POSH~Git for Windows PowerShell (and GitHub for Windows' app) has a problem with this. Window的POSH~Git for Windows PowerShell（和GitHub for Windows'app）有一个问题。

I ran into this, like I do so often, again when setting up my octopress. 在设置我的章鱼时，我经常遇到这种情况，就像我经常这样做。 So, here's how I got it working. 所以，这就是我如何运作。

First, check your remotes: 首先，检查你的遥控器：

C:\gd\code\octopress [source +2 ~3 -0 !]> git remote -v
octopress       https://github.com/imathis/octopress.git (fetch)
octopress       https://github.com/imathis/octopress.git (push)
origin

You'll first note that my origin has no url. 你会首先注意到我的起源没有网址。 Any attempt to remove it, rename it, etc all fails. 任何删除它，重命名等的尝试都会失败。

So, change the url manually: 所以，手动更改网址：

git remote set-url --add origin https://github.com/eduncan911/eduncan911.github.io.git

Then you can confirm it worked by running git remote -v again: 然后你可以通过再次运行git remote -v来确认它是否有效：

C:\gd\code\octopress [source +2 ~3 -0 !]> git remote -v
octopress       https://github.com/imathis/octopress.git (fetch)
octopress       https://github.com/imathis/octopress.git (push)
origin  https://github.com/eduncan911/eduncan911.github.io.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/eduncan911/eduncan911.github.io.git (push)

This has fixed dozens of git repos I've had issues with, GitHub, BitBucket GitLab, etc. 这已经修复了我遇到的几十个git repos，GitHub，BitBucket GitLab等。

In Short, 简而言之，

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/myapp.git

Worked ! 工作了！

Cheers! 干杯!
