how to update file in github via ubuntu

I made clone of my github.

and than opened few file, changed few code, and now i want to publish this code to my githu.com/user/repo.git repository. But when i do.. 

root@linux# cd myRepo/
root@linux# git commit -a -m "Updated footer"
root@linux# git push origin master.

I am getting following error :-

fatal: remote error: 
  You can't push to git://github.com/user/repo.git
  Use https://github.com/user/repo.git

Please don't show me path to google, i have tried them and after failing it, i am writing them here.

Solution

  • You cloned the repository using the read-only URL. Change the URL for your origin remote to the read-write URL given to you in the error message:

    git remote set-url origin https://github.com/user/repo.git

    Then try pushing again. (You may need to supply your GitHub credentials at this point.)
