I cloned one of my github repository to my office desktop machine using the following command

git clone git://github.com/indiajoe/MyRepo.git

After making some changes, and commiting it, i wasn't able to push back the changes to repository using the command,

git push -u orgin master

Following was the error message.

fatal: 'orgin' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I tried to re-enter the address, as shown below.

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin https://github.com/indiajoe/MyRepo.git

Even after this, i was getting the same error. Output of my git remote -v is

origin  https://github.com/indiajoe/MyRepo.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/indiajoe/MyRepo.git (push)

What could be going wrong here?

PS: While cloning I wasn't able to do via https by the following command

git clone https://github.com/indiajoe/MyRepo.git

But it cloned without any issue with the command,

git clone git://github.com/indiajoe/MyRepo.git

I don't know, why this happened. but could this be a related issue?

git push -u `orgin` `master`

That shouldn't work: it is 'origin', not 'orgin' ;)

So, by default, this should work:

git push -u origin master

(as I detail in "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?")
