title: Git - fatal: remote origin already exists
body: <p>I can not create origin remotely with <code>remote</code> command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git remote add origin https://github.com/LongKnight/git-basics.git
  fatal: remote origin already exists.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To solve the error, I have tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git remote -v origin
  $ git remote -v show origin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is not uploading the files from my local repository to the remote:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git push -u origin master
  fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does each repository have its own origin?</p>

  <p><strong>Solution:</strong> I was using the Powershell that came with Github or Git Shell as it is also called to do my tutorial, once I switched to Git Bash it worked fine.</p>
