Add A Remote

To register a remote in your repo, use git remote add with a name and a URL:

git remote add origin https://github.com/you/project.git

This stores the mapping inside .git/config. From now on, commands like git push origin or git fetch origin know which URL to talk to.

You can list remotes (and their URLs) at any time with:

git remote -v

The -v stands for verbose. Without it, git remote just prints the names. With it, you see fetch and push URLs side by side.

For most simple setups the fetch and push URLs are the same.
