GIT

Remote does not exist

Error

The git remote you specified does not exist in this repository.

Why this matters

Pushing to a non-existent remote will fail. klaudiush checks remotes before the push so you get a clear error instead of a cryptic git failure.

How to fix

  1. Check available remotes:

    git remote -v
  2. Use an existing remote:

    git push origin branch-name
  3. Or add the missing remote:

    git remote add myremote https://github.com/user/repo.git
    git push myremote branch-name

Common remote names

Name Typical use
origin Your fork or primary remote
upstream The original repository (for forks)

Hook output

When this error is triggered, klaudiush writes JSON to stdout:

permissionDecisionReason (shown to Claude): [GIT007] Remote "myremote" does not exist in this repository. Specify remote: git push <remote> <branch>

systemMessage (shown to user): Formatted error with fix hint and reference URL.

additionalContext (behavioral guidance): Automated klaudiush validation check. Fix the reported errors and retry the same command.
