$ git push our_clone master gives 2 fatal errors

Hi, my code and the error message is as follows:

my_really_cool_project johnperry $ git push our_clone master 
fatal: 'our_clone_project' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights 
and the repository exists.

Any suggestions? I'm stumped.

Thanks, John

Have you used 

git init

to set up the directory as a git repository?
