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
git push -u origin my_branch

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 ... ...`
