I just changed the name of a Github repository. One of the implications of this is that the remote URL that my local git repository has on record is now out of date. I need to update it.
If I use git-remote with the -v flag. I can see what remotes I currently
have.
$ git remote -v
origin [email protected]:jbranchaud/pokemon.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:jbranchaud/pokemon.git (push)Now, to update the URL for that remote, I can use git remote set-url
specifying the name of the remote and the updated URL.
$ git remote set-url origin [email protected]:jbranchaud/pokemon_deluxe.gitIf I check again, I can see it has been updated accordingly.
$ git remote -v
origin [email protected]:jbranchaud/pokemon_deluxe.git (fetch)
origin [email protected]:jbranchaud/pokemon_deluxe.git (push)
