'Can't push to private repository

By mistake i pushed .env file to github and then i wanted to hide .env file from my private github repo using .gitignore. For this purpose, i did many stupid things and now it's saying repository not found. Please help me fix this! Now when i do git push, it shows -

fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.`enter code here`
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use
    git push --set-upstream origin master

And if i do git push --set-upstream origin master, it gives me this error -

ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

A sensible course of action in your case is:

rename your existing local repository folder

  cd /path/to/repo
  mv warehouse-management-server-side-Arif-Islam warehouse-management-server-side-Arif-Islam.ori

clone the remote GitHub repository again

  git clone [email protected]:Arif-Islam/warehouse-management-server-side-Arif-Islam.git

Delete the file incorrectly pushed, but keep it on the disk
```
  git rm --cached -- .env
```
Update your .gitignore
```
  echo .env >> .gitignore
```

Add, commit and push

  git add .
  git commit -m "Delete then ignore .env"
  git push
