Git Configuration: Reading and Setting
If you ever need to list all the local and remote Git configurations, you can run this command.
|
git config -l |
|---|
You can also just display the value of a specific Git variable. For example, to find the URL of the Git repository that you are currently in, you can run this command.
|
$ git config --get remote.origin.url http://github.com/directory/repository_name.git |
|---|
If you need to change any Git configuration value, then here is an example to update the Git repository’s URL variable.
|
git config remote.origin.url git@github.com:/new_directory/new_repository_name.git |
|---|
Finally, if you want to add a new remote, you can use this command.
|
git remote add origin ssh://USERNAME@SERVER:PORT/directory/repository_name.git |
|---|
That's it. You are now a Git configuration expert.
