I'm running git 1.8.0 on OS X, and every new git repo seems to have a remote called "origin":
$ git init
$ git remote
origin
What's odd is that I can't remove it:
$ git remote remove origin
error: Could not remove config section 'remote.origin'
And therefore I can't add a new remote called origin
. Why is this? What can I do to change it?
You should be able to remove origin
with
git remote rm origin
Not that you need to, you can just change the origin
with set-url
git remote set-url origin "https://..."
Open the .git directory and edit the config file where it says [remote "origin"]
