How do I change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository? (34 answers)

Closed 9 years ago.

I created a local GIT repository on Windows. Let s call it AAA. I staged, committed, and pushed the contents to GitHub. git@github.com:username/AAA.git

I realized I made a mistake with the name.

On GitHub, I renamed it to git@github.com:username/BBB.git

Now, on my Windows machine, I need to change git@github.com:username/AAA.git to git@github.com:username/BBB.git because the settings are still trying to "push" to git@github.com:username/AAA.git but I need to push to git@github.com:username/BBB.git now.

How could I do that?

Answer 1

The easiest way to tweak this in my opinion (imho) is to edit the .git/config file in your repository. Look for the entry you messed up and just tweak the URL.

On my machine in a repo I regularly use it looks like this:

KidA% cat .git/config 
[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    ignorecase = true
    autocflg = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = ssh://localhost:8888/opt/local/var/git/project.git
    #url = ssh://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80/opt/local/var/git/project.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

The line you see commented out is an alternative address for the repository that I sometimes switch to simply by changing which line is commented out.

This is the file that is getting manipulated under-the-hood when you run something like git remote rm or git remote add but in this case since its only a typo you made it might make sense to correct it this way.

Answer 2

git remote set-url origin <URL>

Answer 3

One more way to do this is:

git config remote.origin.url https://github.com/abc/abc.git

To see the existing URL just do:

git config remote.origin.url

Answer 4

Take a look in .git/config and make the changes you need.

Alternatively you could use

git remote rm [name of the url you sets on adding]

and

git remote add [name] [URL]

Or just

git remote set-url [URL]

Before you do anything wrong, double check with

git help remote
