I'm running git 1.8.0 on OS X, and every new git repo seems to have a remote called "origin":

$ git init
$ git remote
origin

What's odd is that I can't remove it:

$ git remote remove origin
error: Could not remove config section 'remote.origin'

And therefore I can't add a new remote called origin . Why is this? What can I do to change it?

You should be able to remove origin with

git remote rm origin

Not that you need to, you can just change the origin with set-url

git remote set-url origin "https://..."

This error can also be caused if you copy and paste a project that has git initialized. I would only recommend this in a new project where you don't care about the previous history.

Background

I ran into this error when I just copied and pasted a project. When I ran git status I saw the diff between the new project and the one that I pasted in.

Solution

All I did to fix it was to go to the command line and cd into the project and run

rm -f -r .git

Which got rid of the old .git file from the previous project. Then I ran git init for a new .git file then everything was fine.

Likewise for this error, if you do not need the previous git records, then this is fast easy way to do it.

打开.git目录并编辑配置文件，在其中说[remote“origin”]
