How to push an existing repo to codeberg when push to create is disabled? (lemmy.world)

I have a repo that I want to push to codeberg. First, I tried to push to create and got the message

$ git push --mirror
Forgejo: Push to create is not enabled for organizations.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

So I created a new repo, but wasn't allowed to push until I had pulled - which just deleted all my local files 🙄

So - what do I do?

Sounds like you got it sorted but heres what i do:

  • setup new repo in codeberg but don't check the box to initialize the repo
  • for existing project, use git remote -v to verify your remotes. Update as necessary (git remote set-url [remote] [url]). If it's a new project you can just git init and add your remote.
  • first push you'll need to specify the remote such as git push origin and after that you'll be fine to use just git push
