git - Azure GitHub deployment failing with error "Remote 'external' already exists." -

i have repository in github i've been using source control local development.

i created new azure website , tried setting continuous deployment github repository. each time try , sync, error says deployment failed. if in logs, see it

remote 'external' exists.

anybody know means , how can fix it?

i don't think it's problem github, have several azure applications syncing github fine.

this error not related azure, git telling you trying add remote called "external" exists in configuration.

as see it, trying use github gui. advice should learn how use command line, many of great features git has available through shell.

second, if want figure out can either remove remote "external" , create again: remote origin exists on 'git push' new repository

or can rename remote: github "fatal: remote origin exists"

if use console, have

git add --all . git commit -m "my push server" git push azure external 

(i wrote "external" have branch want)
