How To Change Git Remote Origin
Change Git Remote URL
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.
$ git remote set-url <remote_name> <remote_url>
For example, let’s say that you want to change the URL of your Git origin remote.
In order to achieve that, you would use the “set-url” command on the “origin” remote and you would specify the new URL.
$ git remote set-url origin https://git-repo/new-repository.git

Congratulations, you successfully changed the URL of your Git remote!
In order to verify that the changes were made, you can use the “git remote” command with the “-v” option (for verbose)
$ git remote -v
