A remote name called gerrit. You can find it:

git remote -v

So remove this old remote:

git remote rm gerrit

Then add it again:

git remote add gerrit <url>

You did not indicate which command was causing this error output, but I assume it was something like:

git remote add gerrit <url>

If you already have a remote named gerrit, you will get this error. You can see which pools are in your repository with

git remote -v

To remove the remote control, use

git remote rm <name>

name is "gerrit" in your case.
