I have a computer with my git project (computer A). I then did a git clone of it to work on it on another computer (computer B). I have made some changes on the new computer (B) and did a commit and a push. All seems well.

When I go to my original computer (A) and do a git fetch it doesn’t fetch anything. Is there something I need to do to tell computer B about computer A?

I did a git pull on computer B and it says the following:

Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref ‘mike’ from the
remote, but no such ref was fetched.

    Based on your comments on your question, you need to change Computer A’s origin remote to match B’s. On computer B issue the following command:

    git config remote.origin.url

    That will output something. Suppose it is <url>. Now, on Computer A, issue these commands:

    git remote rm origin
git remote add origin <url>

    That removed the bad origin reference and updated it to match B’s. Now issue git push origin mike from Computer A, and try the fetch again on Computer B. Should work just fine.
