Let us check the existing list in git remote
~$ git remote -v
Well! There are no any. Lets go and add https://github.com/tutorialkart/git-tutorial.git to the git remote with nameorigin. You may use any other name for the online (remote) repository
~$ git remote add origin https://github.com/tutorialkart/git-tutorial.git
The online repository has been added to git remote, with nameorigin. Check the list once again.
~$ git remote -v origin https://github.com/tutorialkart/git-tutorial.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/tutorialkart/git-tutorial.git (push)
