Question

I have the following repos    DEV REPO  in a directory on my development machine where i make changes MAIN REPO  bare repository on my development machine to which i push changes from dev repo PRODUCTION REPO  repository on host machine to pull updates from the main repo   I used git remote add origin  Users me sites main repo to set the MAIN repo as origin for the DEV repo  The PRODUCTION repo is on a remote host  Can i use a variation of the same command to set the MAIN repo as origin for the PRODUCTION repo also  If  yes   then i suppose the syntax would include an ip address  What would that look like

You can include the branch to track when setting up remotes, to keep things working as you might expect:

git remote add --track master origin [email protected]:group/project.git   # git
git remote add --track master origin [email protected]:group/project.git   # git w/IP
git remote add --track master origin http://github.com/group/project.git   # http
git remote add --track master origin http://172.16.1.100/group/project.git # http w/IP
git remote add --track master origin /Volumes/Git/group/project/           # local
git remote add --track master origin G:/group/project/                     # local, Win

This keeps you from having to manually edit your git config or specify branch tracking manually.

Using SSH  git remote add origin ssh   login IP path to repository   Using HTTP  git remote add origin http   IP path to repository   However having a simple git pull as a deployment process is usually a bad idea and should be avoided in favor of a real deployment script

For anyone who comes here  as I did  looking for the syntax to change origin to a different location you can find that documentation here  https   help github com articles changing-a-remote-s-url   Using git remote add to do this will result in  fatal  remote origin already exists    Nutshell  git remote set-url origin https   github com username repo   The marked answer is correct  I m just hoping to help anyone as lost as I was    haha
