`error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout`

Error Message

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout

Discard current changes and use force checkout to another branch

git checkout -f branch_name

remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/organization_name/repository_name.git/' not found

When creating a new repository on an organization, pushing after linking the git remote may result in remote: Repository not found error

(note) It is not clear whether pushing to an organization's repository may be causing this issue
This may have to do more with private repositories in general

Remove the origin linked to the local repository

git remote rm origin

git clone the remote repository with personal access token value prepended to the url:

git clone https://user_personal_ssh_key@github.com/organization_name/repository_name.git

user_personal_ssh_key is identical to what user created for their own repository

ssh_key = user identity
- So if a user has access to a repository, a single ssh_key should give access to all repositories

error: src refspec master does not match any.

Attempting to push to initialized remote repository results in the error message

Run git commit and push again

fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

This happens when you run commands on a destination (remote) of the repository instead of the local

Use git commands in git repository
