Note

This guide explains this concept in vanilla Git. For Graphite documentation, see our CLI docs.


You are trying to add a remote named "origin" but it already exists in your repository.

A remote named "origin" is automatically created when you clone a repository, or you might have added it previously.

Use a different name for the new remote, or update the existing remote with git remote set-url origin [new-url].
