+title: Adding a remote
+intro: 'To add a new remote, use the `git remote add` command on the terminal, in the directory your repository is stored at.'
+redirect_from:

+versions:

+
+The `git remote add` command takes two arguments:
+
+* A remote name, for example, `origin`
+* A remote URL, for example, `https://{{ site.data.variables.command_line.backticks }}/user/repo.git`
+
+For example:
+
+```shell
+$ git remote add origin https://{{ site.data.variables.command_line.codeblock }}/<em>user</em>/<em>repo</em>.git
+# Set a new remote
+
+$ git remote -v
+# Verify new remote
+> origin  https://{{ site.data.variables.command_line.codeblock }}/<em>user</em>/<em>repo</em>.git (fetch)
+> origin  https://{{ site.data.variables.command_line.codeblock }}/<em>user</em>/<em>repo</em>.git (push)
+```
+
+Not sure which URL to use?  Check out "[Which remote URL should I use?](/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use)"
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+You may encounter these errors when trying to add a remote.
+
+#### Remote `name` already exists
+
+This error means you've tried to add a remote with a name that already exists in your local repository:
+
+```shell
+$ git remote add origin https://{{ site.data.variables.command_line.codeblock }}/octocat/Spoon-Knife
+> fatal: remote origin already exists.
+```
+
+To fix this, you can
+
+* Use a different name for the new remote
+* [Rename the existing remote](/articles/renaming-a-remote)
+* [Delete the existing remote](/articles/removing-a-remote)
