Trying to connect forge to new github account

Hello, I got a job from a client that already have forge and another programmer's GitHub account for is project. I have opened a dedicated private GitHub account for this project and got all the files from the other programmer, I called the repositories with the same name and upload the files to the new GitHub account. Since I have been trying to connect laravel forge to the GitHub account for like 2 hours with no success and the same error when try to deploy:

No local changes to save ERROR: Repository not found. fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I searching all over this forum and tried everything, configure the ssh key on my GitHub, refresh GitHub token on laravel forge setting page (and I see the laravel application in my GitHub setting page), and still, nothing helps. :-/

Can someone please help me fix this issue because I need to start working on this project as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Contact Forge support. Log into your forge account and click the round blue icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Wow, how did I missed this support button, I have tried to find the support section and didn't find so I thought to try my luck here XD

Thank you I will try with them :)

To be fair, the button used to be more obvious than it is now (just an icon). It used to say "contact support" or something similar. Don't remember now.

@Asafmazuz You need to go into the site through Forge panel and uninstall the current git repository (it will completely uninstall the site so make sure your repo has the current files). The, add the new repository. You may have to refresh the github token in the settings panel if it is unsuccessful. Make the site in Forge has your SSH key as well.
