How to change git repository using cloud 9

I cloned a github repository using the commands

git config --global user.name "x"
git config --global user.email x
git init
git add -A
git commit -m "message"
git remote add origin /link/
git push -u origin master

now I am in the workspace and want to connect the workspace to a different GitHub repository. How to do that ?

Thanks for your time

Solution

  • If you have already connected to a github reop

    , you need to remove the a remote first,

    Removing a remote Use the git remote rm command to remove a remote URL from your repository.

    The git remote rm command takes one argument: A remote name, for example, destination:

    $git remote -v
# View current remotes
origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (push)
destination  https://github.com/FORKER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
destination  https://github.com/FORKER/REPOSITORY.git (push)
$git remote rm destination
# Remove remote
$git remote -v
# Verify it's gone
origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git (push)

    Note: git remote rm does not delete the remote repository from the server. It simply removes the remote and its references from your local repository.

    Second, I git init new repository.

    Hope it helps
