Use the git remote rename command to rename an existing remote.
The git remote rename command takes two arguments:
- An existing remote name, for example,
origin - A new name for the remote, for example,
destination
Example
# view existing remotes of a repo
$ git remote -v
> origin git@github.com:itsdanielfelix/my-awesome-repo.git (fetch)
> origin git@github.com:itsdanielfelix/my-awesome-repo.git (push)
# change remote name from 'origin' to 'github'
$ git remote rename origin github
# Verify it
$ git remote -v
> github git@github.com:itsdanielfelix/my-awesome-repo.git (fetch)
> github git@github.com:itsdanielfelix/my-awesome-repo.git (push)
