# EXAMPLE by steps to remove, add, and rename an existing github repo

​

# 1. VIEW if project already has remote repo

git remote -v

> origin  https://github.com/johndoe/my-repo.git (fetch)

> origin  https://github.com/johndoe/my-repo.git (push)

​

# 2. REMOVE the remote repo and (optional) confirm

git remote remove origin

git remote

# line should be blank

​

# 3. ADD new remote repo and confirm (should see 'origin')

git remote add origin https://github.com/johndoe/new-repo.git

git remote

origin

​

# 4. RENAME the remote repo to 'upstream'

git remote rename origin upstream

git remote

upstream

​

# NOTE: 'origin' is just a standard convention name, remote repos are

# named to use a shorthand instead of the long url   

git remote add origin https://github.com/xxx/xxx-new.git

git branch -M main

git push -u origin main

git remote #This has two part "origin" and "upstream"

​

# Adding origin

git remote add origin <The url of local github repository>

​

#Adding upstream

git remote add upstream <The url where you have forked repository>

git remote add upstream <remote_repository_url>

git remote -v

git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream/<branch_name>

git remote add <name> <url>
