I'm using the github Gui from their website to manage my repos, and I'm getting the following error:

fatal: https://github.com/TeaCodie/TeaCodie-Website.git/info/refs not found: 
did you run git update-server-info on the server?

How can I fix this?

In your local repository edit the file:

.git/config

Then check:

[remote "origin"]
   url =

that the URL matches your remote repository
