Outdated solution note ยท beeware/briefcase
briefcase beeware git remote set-url origin template checkout
Older notes for beeware__briefcase-2085 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.
Why the common answers are incomplete
Briefcase template checkout can keep an old origin URL after a template repository move.
When reusing an existing template checkout, update origin with git remote set-url before fetch and checkout.
This issue is tied to template repository movement, so the existing checkout path must refresh its remote before using cached git state.
