Hi,

I’m not sure I’m right here but hope maybe there is someone who can help  
with this.  
When I do “git push” I get the following error:  
ERROR: laguna53/sample\_app doesn’t exist yet. Did you enter it  
correctly?  
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

the error - “ERROR: laguna53/sample\_app doesn’t exist yet”  
is not true, if I try to create one:  
C:\Rails\sample\_app\>git remote add origin  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid:laguna53/sample\_app.git  
fatal: remote origin already exists. \<--------------

Any idea ? Thank you.

Dani

Have you definitely created a repository on github with that name  
(doesn’t look like it unless it’s a private repository) ?
