Check and Modify the Origin with Git

Git is a distributed version control system that allows efficient management of the origin of a software project.

When working with Git, it's common to need to check and modify the URL of the remote repository's origin. Here's how to do it.

Check the Origin

To verify the URL of your repository's origin, you can use the following command:

git remote -v

This command will display the currently configured fetch and push URLs for your repository's origin.

Modify the Origin

If you need to change the origin URL, you can use the following command:

git remote set-url origin http://new-url.git

Replace 'http://new-url.git' with the new URL you want to use as the origin for your repository.

Once this change is made, you can verify that the origin URL has been successfully updated using the git remote -v command.
