Changing git remote repos with Capistrano - Repository not found

On changing where our remote git repos were stored we got the error Repository not found When trying to run cap deploy with capistrano. We had changed the remote origin to the new repos locally with git remote rm origin git remote add origin It turned out the you need to change the remote on the server you are deploying to in the folder rails_app/shared/cached-copy as it still references the old remote. So the fix on the production server was. cd rails_app/shared/cached-copy git remote rm origin git remote add origin
