Command Line - GitHub Repo Error: Does not appear to be a git repository

Question

Have staged and committed local repo and created remote repo. Checked to see that it does exist (git remote -v) and it appears to be there.

When I try to push to it with - git push -u origin master - I get the following error message:

'https//:github.com/{username}/CodingDojo_Portfolio.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Have also tried to push as from an existing repo with this:

git remote add origin https://github.com/{username}/CodingDojo_Porfolio.git
git push -u origin master

I don't understand what I am doing incorrectly

(I encountered a similar error previously and I deleted the remote repo and recreated it with out the README.md and that worked, but not this time)

Answer 1

Looks like there is a weird : in the domain name right after the https://. Use git remote set-url origin 'https//github.com/{username}/CodingDojo_Portfolio.git to fix.
