Hello, I’m working through this article:
https://www.codecademy.com/journeys/full-stack-engineer/paths/fscj-22-building-interactive-websites/tracks/fscj-22-git-and-github-part-i/modules/wdcp-22-introduction-to-github-beddaab4-bbb4-4be7-ba2d-76e9743caac7/articles/f1-u3-git-setup

when i get to the

git push -u origin main

bit when trying to push to github i get this error:
fatal: unablee to access ‘https://github.com.FreakingLoki/git_practice.git/’ could not resolve host: github.com.FreakingLoki

FreakingLoki is my username on GitHub

I tried testing my connection by using

ping github.com

and do get a reply:

I’m not sure what i could be missing. I’ve poked around on Stack Overflow and here on the Codecademy Forums and none of the suggested fixes seem to work. I’ve tried resetting proxy configs and the like I’m on a personal windows PC not behind a proxy and my firewall is allowing git through. Nothing seems to be working.

Thank you all in advance.

Check the config settings. ‘https://github.com.FreakingLoki/git_practice.git/ should be ‘FreakingLoki/git_practice · GitHub
The dot after the com being a slash.

Failing that. Login to github check the repository name matches and the branch names match.

here’s a screenshot of another attempt to follow the instructions laid out on GitHub. I’m not sure why it’s trying to push to github.com.FreakingLoki instead of /FreakingLoki

I ran

git config --list

and I see

remote.origin.url=https://github.com.FreakingLoki/git_practice.git

I need to change the “.” after .com to a “/” right? how would I do that?

git remote set origin

I tried to create an account with GitHub, being blocked by Username. Anyone knows why?

I had the same issue and flushing the dns and reseting it helped me. This only happened once with me though and DNS reset is what worked for me. Check it out
