git remote

Manage a set of tracked repositories (so called remote repositories).

git remote allows to create, view and delete connections to other repositories.

Such a connection is a (usually easy-to-type) alias for a (usually harder-to-type) URL.

After configuring such aliases, they can be used in other git commands, notably in git pull and git push

git push <remote-name> <branch-name>

Cloning a repository automatically creates a remote named origin.

These aliases (referred to as remote entries) are stored in a repository's .git/config file.

git remote add    tq84Name https://…
git remote rename tq84Name tq84
git remote rm     tq84

The list of configured remotes can be displayed with

git remote
git remote -v

Show detailed information about a given remote:

git remote show origin

Display remote's URL

The URL of a remote (for example origin) can be displayed with

git remote get-url origin

This command is useful to determine from which URL a repository was originally cloned.

See also git URLs and the remote.origin.url git option.
