VS Code is my actual IDE and git client for all my projects. I'd like to change the origin remote of an actual repository.
How can i do it?

In order to change the URL of a Git remote, you have to use the “git remote set-url” command and specify the name of the remote as well as the new remote URL to be changed. For example, let's say that you want to change the URL of your Git origin remote.
Launch VS code, and in the left-hand menu, click on the Source Control icon for Git. It gives two options – Open Folder and Clone Repository. We can open a git repository folder or clone from a GitHub URL. We already set up a GitHub repository in the previous article.
It can be done over the terminal. (VS code has a terminal)
Go to the root of the directory.
List your existing remotes in order to get the name of the remote you want to change.
$ git remote -v origin [email protected]:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (fetch) origin [email protected]:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (push) Change your remote's URL from SSH to HTTPS with the git remote set-url command.
$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git Verify that the remote URL has changed.
$ git remote -v origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (push) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
