One more way to do this is   git config remote origin url https   github com abc abc git   To see the existing URL just do   git config remote origin url

Take a look in  git config and make the changes you need   Alternatively you could use  git remote rm  name of the url you sets on adding    and  git remote add  name   URL    Or just  git remote set-url  URL    Before you do anything wrong  double check with  git help remote

The easiest way to tweak this in my opinion  imho  is to edit the  git config file in your repository  Look for the entry you messed up and just tweak the URL   On my machine in a repo I regularly use it looks like this   KidA  cat  git config   core      repositoryformatversion   0     filemode   true     bare   false     logallrefupdates   true     ignorecase   true     autocflg   true  remote  origin       url   ssh   localhost 8888 opt local var git project git      url   ssh   xxx xxx xxx xxx 80 opt local var git project git     fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin     The line you see commented out is an alternative address for the repository that I sometimes switch to simply by changing which line is commented out   This is the file that is getting manipulated under-the-hood when you run something like git remote rm or git remote add but in this case since its only a typo you made it might make sense to correct it this way
