git remote remove origin fatal no such remote 'origin'

The above will only work if you've either cloned the repository or manually added a remote called origin.

If "git remote -v" doesn't show you any remotes you can simply add a remote using:

git remote add origin https://username@stash/scm/PROJECT/repo.git
The name of the remote doesn't have to be "origin" and can be any name that makes it easier for you to identify that particular remote (e.g. "stash").

HTH,
