A Git Tidbit

Submitted by davedelong on Mon, 10/05/2009 - 11:22

I'm working on a framework on github, and I recently decided to rename it. Conveniently, github has a neat little "rename repository" widget that does exactly that.

However, this produces a problem: it changes the URL of the repository, and my local clone is pointing to the old URL. After googling around a bit, I decided to take a shot in the dark and did this:

  1. cd /path/to/my/clone
  2. git remote rm origin
  3. git remote add origin git@github.com....

Thankfully, that worked, and my pushes and pulls now use my repository's new URL.
