I am pushing data to github. When I push data i am facing problem.I am pushing data using this.

git init
touch README.md
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/YourAccount/firstPush.git
git push -u origin master

Actuall I run git remote add origin https://github.com/YourAccount/firstPush.git this command wrong. When I again push data with correct path I got error 

fatal: remote origin already exists.

Find the .gitconfig file in your local computer. Open it with notepad and delete the urls from there.

The following command will show you where your url is living.

git config --list --show-origin

You can follow any of the following 3 methods:

  1. Remove the old origin and readd the correct one:

    git remote remove origin
git remote add origin <correct address>

  2. Update the existing remote links:

    git remote set-url origin <correct url>

    you can optionally provide --push to the above command.

  3. Update the remote section of your .git/config file:

    [remote "origin"]
    url = <correct url>
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master

You can also refer to git documentation for the git remote commands.
