Question

I am trying to use Jekyll on github but can’t seem to push to update the files. I am new to git and have no problems pushing to repo’s that I make but when trying to push to my site I keep getting these errors:

You can’t push to git://github.com/anthonybrown/anthonybrown.github.com.git
Use [e-mail]:anthonybrown/anthonybrown.github.com.git

I have been trying to do this for 3 days now and have a page up.

You need to change the URL of your git-remote to the correct one.

The command to change the URL is this (assuming the remote is named origin):

git remote set-url origin [e-mail]:anthonybrown/anthonybrown.github.com.git

If the remote has a different name and you do not know it, have a look at the output of git remote.

Of course you could also simple edit .git/config and replace the old git://... url with the correct one, but since there’s a command for this there’s no reason to do this.
