How to change the URI URL for a remote Git repository

Question

I have a repo  origin  on a USB key that I cloned on my hard drive  local   I moved  origin  to a NAS and successfully tested cloning it from here   I would like to know if I can change the URI of  origin  in the settings of  local  so it will now pull from the NAS  and not from the USB key   For now  I can see two solutions    push everything to the usb-orign  and copy it to the NAS again  implies a lot of work due to new commits to nas-origin   add a new remote to  local  and delete the old one  I fear I ll break my history

You can change the url by editing the config file. Go to your project root:

nano .git/config

Then edit the url field and set your new url. Save the changes. You can verify the changes by using the command.

git remote -v

An alternative approach is to rename the  old  origin  in the example below I name it simply old-origin  and adding a new one  This might be the desired approach if you still want to be able to push to the old origin every now and then  git remote rename origin old-origin git remote add origin git new-git-server com gt   lt username gt   lt projectname gt  git  And in case you need to push your local state to the new origin  git push -u origin --all git push -u origin --tags

Navigate to the project root of the local repository and check for existing remotes  git remote -v  If your repository is using SSH you will see something like   gt  origin  git github com USERNAME REPOSITORY git  fetch   gt  origin  git github com USERNAME REPOSITORY git  push   And if your repository is using HTTPS you will see something like   gt  origin  https   github com USERNAME REPOSITORY git  fetch   gt  origin  https   github com USERNAME REPOSITORY git  push   Changing the URL is done with git remote set-url  Depending on the output of git remote -v  you can change the URL in the following manner  In case of SSH  you can change the URL from REPOSITORY git to NEW REPOSITORY git like    git remote set-url origin git github com USERNAME NEW REPOSITORY git  And in case of HTTPS  you can change the URL from REPOSITORY git to NEW REPOSITORY git like    git remote set-url origin https   github com USERNAME NEW REPOSITORY git  NOTE  If you ve changed your GitHub username  you can follow the same process as above to update the change in the username associated with your repository  You would only have to update the USERNAME in the git remote set-url command
