Rename A Remote

If you just added a remote (git remote add ...) and messed up the name or just need to rename some existing remote, you can do so with the rename command.

First, let's see the remotes we have:

$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/jbranchaud/til.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/jbranchaud/til.git (push)

To then rename origin to destination, for example, we can issue the following command:

$ git remote rename origin destination

See man git-remote for more details.
