git remote manages the set of remote repository URLs your local repository knows about, most commonly a single "origin".
Key points
- git remote -v lists all configured remotes and their URLs
- git remote add upstream <url> adds a second remote, common when working with a forked repository
- git remote set-url origin <new-url> changes where an existing remote points, e.g. after a repository migration
Example
git remote -v
