Unable to upgrade Flutter: no origin repository configured

Question

I tried to update flutter from this command using cmd:

flutter upgrade

And I got:

Unable to upgrade Flutter: no origin repository configured. Run 'git remote add origin https://github.com/flutter/flutter' in C:\flutter

What is the reason and how I can solve this?

Answer 1

Try flutter doctor, you will see flutter channel unknown. That is the reason, Flutter uses git to manage the Framework and when you checkout to different commit code / tags flutter channel changed to unknown.

Here is what you have to do:

flutter channel stable

Above I mentioned stable, if you need change the channel that you want to checkout (see available channels by flutter channel in terminal / cmd).

Then:

flutter upgrade

Everything should work now.

If not try below:

Go to flutter framework located directory and set upstream by git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/stable stable.

Please note that flutter channel stable is equivalent to git checkout stable if you try in flutter framework located directory.

Learn lot more info about this issue from already reported issue tracker.

Answer 2

First check the flutter doctor response

when you get channel unknown, follow these steps

In Flutter framework located directory, set upstream by

1. git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/stable stable.

2. Then, flutter upgrade

It will fix the error

Answer 3

Fixed it on Windows, I think this is a git issue:

• ensure PATH contains latest Git (mine is 2.25.1, updated from 1.18) and flutter\bin.
• > git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git
• > flutter channel master
• > flutter doctor --android-licenses
• > flutter doctor -v
• > flutter upgrade

Answer 4

First of all run command in cmd flutter channel stable then run flutter upgrade.

Answer 5

I was trying to install flutter on my new ubuntu pc, following the directions on the official website: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux

I went with their initial steps of downloading the flutter sdk directly on my device, rather than cloning a git repo. Due to this my IDE kept popping a notification that the flutter version wasn't compatible.

I just had to delete the installed sdk files, and clone the git repo. This made it work like a charm.

Answer 6

I fixed this issue.I ran flutter channel stable,

I got the below output...

E:\flutter_Apps\flutter_app_dont_stare_v2>flutter channel stable
Warning! The 'flutter' tool you are currently running is from a different Flutter repository than the one last used by this package. The repository from which the 'flutter' tool is
currently executing will be used instead.
  running Flutter tool: C:\src\flutter
  previous reference  : C:\flutter\flutter\flutter
This can happen when you have multiple copies of flutter installed. Please check your system path to verify that you are running the expected version (run 'flutter --version' to see
which flutter is on your path).

    and so on

Answer 7

I spent hours trying 90% of the suggestions on this page and others. Nothing worked for me until I ran "Flutter Channel Stable" in the terminal selected the Menu Tools--> Flutter "Flutter Clean" Waited until the Clean process was completed then File -->"Invalidate Cache and restart" then Wait until everything is complete. Only after it has completed run Tools-> "Flutter Pub Get" Wait and then run "Flutter Pub Upgrade" Wait until everything is complete and then everything should allow you to code again as normal. This resolved my Git repository issue. If you prefer to go back to the dev channel again that can be done by going to the terminal "Flutter channel dev"

Answer 8

run command in terminal flutter channel stable then run flutter upgrade. Still it not works then run command as below

1. flutter channel stable
2. flutter upgrade --force
