How to change GitHub repository in IDEA Intellij?

I've lost access to my previous account on GitHub, so created new one and now, when I am trying to share my project ( which was shared on GitHub before), I get this message:

Can't get repository info: {myRepositoryName}
404: Not Found - Not Found

How to tell IDEA Intellij that I want to share project on different repository? thanks

Solution

  • TO CHANGE GITHUB CREDENTIALS

    From an open project:

    File > Settings > [Project Settings] > Version Control > GitHub

    Or

    File > Other Settings > Default Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Version Control > GitHub

    From the Welcome Screen

    Configure > Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Version Control > GitHub

    TO CHANGE THE GIT REPOSITORY

    This needs to be done via command line or the Terminal Tool Window in IDEA (Tools > Terminal Window). See Stackoverflow topic How to change a remote repository URI using Git? for information.
