How to push an existing repo to codeberg when push to create is disabled? (lemmy.world)

I have a repo that I want to push to codeberg. First, I tried to push to create and got the message

$ git push --mirror
Forgejo: Push to create is not enabled for organizations.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

So I created a new repo, but wasn't allowed to push until I had pulled - which just deleted all my local files 🙄

So - what do I do?

Sounds like you got it sorted but heres what i do:

setup new repo in codeberg but don't check the box to initialize the repo
for existing project, use git remote -v to verify your remotes. Update as necessary (git remote set-url [remote] [url]). If it's a new project you can just git init and add your remote.
first push you'll need to specify the remote such as git push origin and after that you'll be fine to use just git push
