how to push in to gitlab instead of github

Question

I cloned the files in gitlab, created a new branch, edited the files and finally pushed it. But somehow it created a new repository, a new branch in my github and has nothing in my gitlab. What should i do

you need to change your remote origin to gitlab, git remote add origin [email protected]/UserRepo.git. — Abid Khan

If you cloned from GitLab, the push action would normally go to GitLab. See @AbidKhan's comment, but you might add the output of git config --list --show-origin to your question in case there's something odd with a global setting for a push URL. Other than that the answer is basically the same as "how do I drive to Tokyo instead of Osaka": you just choose that as your destination. — torek

Check your git remote -v output in the root folder of your local cloned repository.

If you had "cloned the files in gitlab", the URL should have been a GitLab one (https://gitlab.com/... or an SSH git@gitlab:...)

If not, you might see a GitHub URL.

Changing it to an existing remote GitLab one would be:

git remote set-url origin https://gitlab.com/You/YourRepo

hehe, a minor spelling mistake. "remote" instead of "rmeote"
