To change the URI (URL) of a remote Git repository, you can use the git remote set-url
command. This command allows you to change the URL of a remote repository that your local repository is connected to.
Here is the basic syntax of the git remote set-url
command:
git remote set-url <remote> <new_url>
To change the URI (URL) of a remote Git repository, you can use the git remote set-url
command. This command allows you to change the URL of a remote repository that your local repository is connected to.
Here is the basic syntax of the git remote set-url
command:
Copy codegit remote set-url <remote> <new_url>
Where <remote>
is the name of the remote repository and <new_url>
is the new URL that you want to set for the repository.
For example, let’s say you have a local repository named my-repo
and a remote repository named origin
with the URL https://github.com/my-username/my-repo.git
. If you want to change the URL of the origin
repository to https://gitlab.com/my-username/my-repo.git
, you can use the following command:
git remote set-url origin https://gitlab.com/my-username/my-repo.git
This will update the URL of the origin
repository in your local repository’s configuration. You can then use the git push
command to push your local commits to the updated remote repository.
It’s important to note that changing the URL of a remote repository will not affect any existing local copies of the repository. If you want to clone the updated repository, you will need to use the new URL when running the git clone
command.
