Remote Repository

Add a Remote Branch

git remote add <remote_name> <repository path/URL>
git push -u <remote_name> <local_branch>:<remote_branch>
git branch --set-upstream-to=<remote-branch-name>

-u = --set-upstream - meaning your local branch will now "track" the specified remote branch. - git push (without arguments) will know which remote and branch to push to. - git pull will automatically pull from the corresponding remote branch.

Viewing Remote

git remote -v

-v = --verbose This will show the URLs for both fetching and pushing

Renaming Remote

git remote rename <old_remote_name> <new_remote_name>

Removing Remote

1. Delete branch on the remote repository (remote changes)

   git push <remote_name> --delete <branch_name>
   

2. Disconnect upstream (local changes)

   git remote remove <remote_name>
