Git Push Error - Could not resolve host name

Question

nshastri@N-SHASTRI ~/datasciencecoursera (master)
$ git push origin master

ssh: Could not resolve hostname https: no address associated with name

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Answer 1

You are probably trying to connect a FALSE NAME DIR your repository name should be the SAME as your folder name in local environment.

git repo: gitRepo folder name: gitRepo now you can push

it is also a good practice to first CLONE your new repository to a different folder and then you can COPY your code to this new folder and then change its name to the right git repository name.

Answer 2

Simply type:

git remote -v

and double-check the url associated with origin for your upstream repo.

Once you have the right url, update your remote origin with another git remote command:

git remote set-url origin /the/right/url

In your case, the url is wrong:

https:/github.com/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera.git
# instead of:
https://github.com/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera.git
     ^^^^

Simply type:

git remote set-url origin https://[e-mail]/nkshastri/datasciencecoursera

Then try again:

git push -u origin master

(with master, not maaster)

Answer 3

Sometimes this can be caused by a network issue. Try restarting your wifi or, if the repository is behind a VPN, make sure you are on the VPN.
