title: Change the Url of a Remote Repository
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
The `git remote set-url` command changes an existing remote repository URL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**This command takes two arguments:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. An existing remote name. For example, origin or upstream are two common choices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. A new URL for the remote. For example, `https://github.com/USERNAME/OTHERREPOSITORY.git`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**So to change the URL of a remote repository you would do something like this:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. View the existing remote repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`git remote -v`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Change the URL of the remote repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/OTHERREPOSITORY.git`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. And you may verify the new remote repository by doing:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`git remote -v`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
