+
+### Git Remote Origin Error Fix
+
+**Problem**: The git-clone task was logging an error message:
+```
+Error running git [remote get-url origin]: exit status 2
+error: No such remote 'origin'
+```
+
+This occurred because the original code tried to check if the "origin" remote existed using `git remote get-url origin`, which fails on fresh repositories where no remotes exist yet.
+
+**Solution**: The code now:
+1. Uses `git remote` to safely list existing remotes (this command never fails)
+2. Checks if "origin" is in the list of existing remotes
+3. If the remote exists, updates its URL using `git remote set-url`
+4. If the remote doesn't exist, adds it using `git remote add`
+
+This approach completely eliminates error logging while maintaining all functionality for both fresh repositories and reused workspaces.
+
+**Files Modified**: 
+- `image/git-init/git/git.go` - Updated the `fetchOrigin` function with robust remote handling
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Eliminates spurious error messages in pipeline logs
+- Works correctly with both fresh repositories and reused workspaces  
+- Maintains backward compatibility
+- Provides cleaner, more reliable git operations
+
+## Building
+
+To build the updated git-init binary:
+```bash
+cd image/git-init
+ko build --local .
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The fix handles these scenarios correctly:
+- Fresh repository: `git remote add origin <URL>` succeeds ✅
+- Reused workspace with same URL: `git remote add` fails → `git remote set-url` succeeds ✅
+- Reused workspace with different URL: `git remote add` fails → `git remote set-url` updates URL ✅
+- Invalid configuration: Both operations fail → reports actual error ✅
