git remote command

In Git, the term remote is concerned with the remote repository. It is a shared repository that all team members use to exchange their changes.

Check our Remote

To check the configuration of the remote server, run the git remote command. This command lists the names of remote repositories that our local repository knows about.

The given command is providing the remote name as the origin. Origin is the default name for the remote server, which is given by Git.

git remote -v

The git remote supports a specific option -v to show the URLs of the remote repositories that Git has stored as a short name.

git remote rename

Git allows us renaming the remote reference name.

Syntax git remote rename <old name> <new name>

Replace <old name> with the current name of the remote, and <new name> with the new name we want to assign to it.

• <new-url> is the new URL we want to set for the remote.

For example, if you want to change the URL of the remote named "origin" to a new URL:
