How do I change Git remote URL?
You can use the git remote set-url command to change the URL of your remote. First, you will need to open Terminal (if using Mac or Linux) or the command prompt (if using Windows).
- Locate your project on your local computer. You can do this by running:
cd/path/to/repo
2.
Then check and confirm a list of all of your existing remotes. To do this run this command:
git remote -v
For example, the output may look like something like this:
This list will contain your existing remote names and URLs.
1.
Change the URL of the remote with the git remote set-url command:
git remote set-url origin git@accountname.git.beanstalkapp.com:/your-repository.git
This command tells git to change the URL for the remote, “origin” to be something different.
For example: Let’s say you want to change your remote URL to be connect via SSH instead of HTTPS. You can tell git to set a new URL for the remote. In this example, we want to change our remote URL from:
https://ashleyharpp.git.beanstalkap.com/selfy-site.git
to
git@ashleyharpp.git.beanstalkapp.com:/ashleyharpp/selfy-site.git
To make this change, the command we’ll run will look like this:
Once done, you can verify that your remote URL has changed by running:
git remote -v
Now you have successfully changed your remote URL.
