Today in this post, we will cover how to create, list, rename and delete a remote connection on local Git repository. We will learn all the related commands.

The "git remote" command lets you create, view and remove connections to other repositories. These remote connections are just like bookmarks/favorite links rather than direct links to the other repositories.

 

List the remote connections you have to other repositories:

$ git remote

 

List the remote connections including URLs:

$ git remote -v

 

Create a new connection to a remote repository:

$ git remote add <name> <url>

 

Remove the connection to the remote repository:

$ git remote rm <name>

 

Rename a remote connection:

$ git remote rename <oldname> <newname>
