If you have an existing repository and want to add a new remote you can use this command:
```
git remote add <name> <url>
```
Example:
```
git remote add origin git@github.com:Asocia/til.git
2021-07-07 13:50:23 +02:00
git push -u origin my_branch
```
2021-07-07 13:50:23 +02:00
If you get an error like
```
error: remote origin already exists.
```
you can:
- remove the origin and try again. `git remote remove origin`
- add it with a different name. `git remote add ... ...`
