Git remote command returns fatal: Invalid refspec +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/:origin/*

I accidentally modified my git config file and now hitting git remote --v in the terminal it returns: fatal: Invalid refspec '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/:origin/*',

What could be wrong in my config file, this is how it looks:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = ssh://[email protected]/myuserame/repo.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/:origin/*

Any idea will be appreciated, Thanks.

You can safely delete the [remote "origin"] section from your config file and reinitialize the remote settings in the CLI as if you had not yet done it for the repository in the first place.

You can fix it with a:

git config remote.origin.fetch refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

(removing the : in :origin)
