Cannot remove remote origin

You should be able to remove origin with

git remote rm origin

Not that you need to, you can just change the origin with set-url

git remote set-url origin "https://..." 

Open the .git directory and edit the config file where it says [remote "origin"]

I solved my problems this way. First I opened up the config file using vim with the following command

$ vim .git/config

I modified my file to this below:

[core]        repositoryformatversion = 0        filemode = true        bare = false        logallrefupdates = true        ignorecase = true        precomposeunicode = false[branch "master"][remote "origin"]        url = git@192.168.200.79:xxx.git        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin_iOS/*

So now, when I give a command git push it understands, because by default it pushed to origin and it is set to my origin_iOS in my server.

You can check your origin config by remote -v command:

$ git remote -vorigin  git@192.168.200.79:xxxx.git (fetch)origin  git@192.168.200.79:xxx.git (push)

If you don't have 'origin', you will have troubles with a usual 'git push' as I did. I had to type 'git push origin_iOS master', because I had in my config 'origin_iOS'
