Try doing this first to remove the bad origin git remote rm origin. Then try adding the origin again by doing https://github.com/username/repository-name.

You need to add the origin to your repository not your profile so https://github.com/username/repository-name

Thanks Luke, I had a similar problem. Removing then re-creating the origin fixed it.
