How to access my bitbucket repository if I rename it

Question

I have a git project on bit bucket which I access via:

[email protected]:amm/witmachine.git

I would like to access as:

[email protected]:amm/masterwit.git

Do I need to create a new repository?

I have an existing checkout - if I rename the repository how to I make my checkout use the correct project on bitbucket instead of the old one?

Answer 1

So you want to change the URL of a remote?

git remote set-url origin [email protected]:amm/masterwit.git
