Git Introduction

this page explain the Seeing Your Remotes section of git tool

By running the git remote command, you can view the short names, such as “origin,” of all specified remote handles.

By using git remote -v, you can view all the remote URLs next to their corresponding short names.

git remote Commands
- 1- Adding Remotes
To create a new remote Git repository with a short name, use the following format: git remote add shortname url This addition of these remote and short names allows you to use shortnames for Git collaboration.
- 2- Fetching
Fetching entails pulling data that you don’t have from a remote project. Here is the command format:git fetch [remote-name]
- 3- Pushing

To push your changes “upstream” for sharing, you would use the following git push command format:git push [remote-name][branch-name]

This command pushes committed changes from your local “master” branch upstream to the “origin” server.

4- Renaming/Removing Remotes
- 1-Rename
To rename a remote’s short name, use the git remote rename command.
- 2-Remove
To remove a remote for whatever reason (e.g., a contributor has left the team, the server has moved), simply use the git remote rm command.
