In the terminal, navigate to your folder and try the following code:

git remote set-url origin "https://github.com/somegitrepo.git"

Replace 'somegitrepo' with the name of your repo. After that, try to git push again and see if it works.

The Git Shell version on Windows requires a slight variation on the command. If you just substitute the git remote add origin [url] with this instead!
