Git origin URL

- Command 1: List all remote urls​

git remote -v

Description

List all remote urls

- Command 2: Get current origin URL​

git config --get remote.origin.url

Description

Get the current remote origin URL.

- Command 3: Add origin​

git remote add origin PASTE

Description

The add command fails when name already exists.

origin is the default name of your remote git, and is selected by default when you run a git push or git pull. This means you're basically running git push origin behind the scenes.

- Command 4: Remove origin​

git remote remove origin

Or...

git remote rm origin

Description

Remove remote git by name.

- Command 5: Update origin​

git remote set-url origin PASTE

Description

Update current existing remote.

The set-url command fails when name doesn't exist.

The set-url command is useful in cases you made a typo on the URL of some existing name.

You'll need to provide 2 things:

  • a name
  • a new URL.
