Thanks a-x- !!!

If you don't have SSH keys set up for github (see below) you get a fatal error when you do:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:a-x-/tgl.git

It dies with:

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

If you get that error, and you don't want to setup SSH keys from the account you're on, you can use this instead:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/a-x-/tgl.git

and that works fine.
