I initialized my folder as a Git repository using git init and added a remote repository with git remote add origin URL. Now, I want to remove this remote repository (origin) and add a new one with a different URL (new-URL). How can I do this?
Hey Mirosalv,
I think instead of removing and re-adding the remote repository, you can update the URL directly:
git remote set-url origin git://new.url.here
To remove the existing remote repository, you can use:
git remote remove origin
For more details, you can refer to this question: How to change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository?
Hey Miroslav,
To add to your answer, what can @MiroslavRalevic do to remove a remote repository named origin? You can use the following command:
git remote remove origin
To add a new remote repository with a URL yourRemoteUrl, you can use:
git remote add origin yourRemoteUrl
Finally, to push your changes to the new remote repository, you can use:
git push -u origin master
These commands will remove the existing remote, add a new remote, and push your changes to the new remote repository.
Hello Miroslav,
To remove the existing remote named origin and then add a new remote, you can use the following commands:
git remote remove origin
Followed by:
git remote add origin http://your_url_here
These commands will remove the origin remote and add a new one with the specified URL.
