"did you run git update-server-info" error on a Github repository

Solution 1:

You might have changed your repository name

In your local repository edit the file:

.git/config

Then check:

[remote "origin"]
   url = 

that the URL matches your remote repository

Solution 2:

Did you create a new repository on the http://github.com with the same name?

If not, do it! And make sure each letter is correct and case sensitive.

Solution 3:

In my case my github account did not have permissions to the repo. Added the github account as a collaborator for the repo and that fixed it.

Solution 4:

This error mostly caused by WRONG URL, please check:

  • http or https
  • URL Name
  • username@git_url
  • wrong git name
