A remote URL is Git's fancy way of saying "the place where your code is stored."
|
|
That URL could be your repository on GitHub, or another user's fork, or even on
|
|
a completely different server.
|
|
|
|
You can only push to two types of URL addresses:
|
|
|
|
* An HTTPS URL like `https://{% data variables.command_line.backticks %}/user/repo.git`
|
|
* An SSH URL, like `git@{% data variables.command_line.backticks %}:user/repo.git`
|
|
|
|
Git associates a remote URL with a name, and your default remote is usually called `origin`.
|
|
|
|
For information on the differences between these URLs, see "[Which remote URL should I use?](/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use)"
|
|
|
|
### Creating remotes
|
|
|
|
You can use the `git remote add` command to match a remote URL with a name.
|
|
For example, you'd type the following in the command line:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git remote add origin <em> <REMOTE_URL> </em>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This associates the name `origin` with the `REMOTE_URL`.
|
|
|
|
You can use the command `git remote set-url` to [change a remote's URL](/articles/changing-a-remote-s-url).
