After I have done that, the following things are happening:

• "git status" outputs
  On branch main
  nothing to commit, working tree clean
  instead of
  On branch main
  Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.
  nothing to commit, working tree clean
• "git branch -a" shows only "main", and none of the remote branches.

Please, what can I do to have this fixed?

Hi there!

Here's a couple of thoughts - hopefully these are helpful:

You could show your current remotes with:

git remote -v

If you don't have any remotes, you can add them?

# set the new URL
git remote set-url origin <YOUR REPO URL>
# check the remote
git remote -v 

I think that should help?

Thank you very much, njtierney.

Actually, git remote -v shows the remotes for fetch and push.

But I could solve the problem by cloning the repo in another folder with git clone MY_REPO_URL. I hope this doesn't get me any problem in the future.

For those who read, an error I ran into was to change the name of the package in the .Rbuildignore file

Thank you for the helpful post!
