Here's the line I fired:

git remote add Nakor git://github.com.nakor/CherryTomato.git

I made a mistake and the command should have been:

git remote add Nakor git://github.com/nakor/CherryTomato.git

When I try to run the second command, I get this error:

fatal: Remote Nakor already exists.

Which is understandable. How can I edit the endpoint the remote Nakor is pointing to?

you can use the set-url subcommand of git remote:

git remote set-url Nakor git://github.com/nakor/CherryTomato.git

When all else fails:

git config --edit

Under...

[remote "Nakor"]

...edit the line...

    url = git://github.com.nakor/CherryTomato.git

  • It opens up a Vim terminal, so now I have **two** problems. :D Any way to edit this on a normal text editor? I'm on Windows 7. – Only Bolivian Here Apr 20 '11 at 13:47

    I'm sorry to hear that (Windows). See [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/10564/78845) on how to configure your editor on Windows. – johnsyweb Apr 20 '11 at 13:51
  • P.S: Vim is a [normal](http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/various.html#:normal) text editor... you should give it a try sometime! – johnsyweb Apr 20 '11 at 22:01
  • I would hardly call Vim a normal text editor (in regular English sense). Also, I use Emacs. :) – Only Bolivian Here Apr 21 '11 at 00:18

git remote --help tells all. In this instance, use git remote set-url ....
