git - Can't push to Github repository for Azure project

Question

I'm attempting to finish an Azure web app tutorial. In the step "Push to Azure from Git", I'm attempting to push to Github using, but getting error message

SivesA@ONE7-FAL138552 MINGW64 /c/2017/11 November/20112017/nodejs-docs-hello-world-master (master)
$ git remote add azure https://nodejsuser2@nodejswebappadamsives2.scm.azurewebsites.net/nodejswebappadamsives2.git
fatal: remote azure already exists.

no matter what URL I use.

I've been sure to inititalise and commit the project. I've also tried resolution through another SO question, but seem to be hitting a brick wall. My remote properties are as follows:

SivesA@ONE7-FAL138552 MINGW64 /c/2017/11 November/20112017/nodejs-docs-hello-world-master (master)
$ git remote -v show
azure   https://adamsives@nodejswebapp.scm.azurewebsites.net/nodejswebapp.git (fetch)
azure   https://adamsives@nodejswebapp.scm.azurewebsites.net/nodejswebapp.git (push)

the Github repository is https://nodejsuser2@nodejswebappadamsives2.scm.azurewebsites.net/nodejswebappadamsives2.git

Answer 1

It seems that the remote with the name azure already exists on your system and that remote contains the url "https://adamsives@nodejswebapp.scm.azurewebsites.net/nodejswebapp.git".

As you have mentioned that you want your remote url as "https://nodejsuser2@nodejswebappadamsives2.scm.azurewebsites.net/nodejswebappadamsives2.git". Therefore your need to do the following steps to update the url of the remote "azure":-

git remote set-url azure https://nodejsuser2@nodejswebappadamsives2.scm.azurewebsites.net/nodejswebappadamsives2.git

OR

You can add a new remote with new name like "newazure" with it's URL as you want. Follow the below command to add new:-

git remote add newazure https://nodejsuser2@nodejswebappadamsives2.scm.azurewebsites.net/nodejswebappadamsives2.git
