Changing a remote URL in git

You cloned a git repository using a public URL, and now everytime you want to push to it, you have to specify the push R/W URL because the public URL you used to pull is read-only.

This happened to me:

$ git remote show origin * remote origin Fetch URL: git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/augeas.git Push URL: git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/augeas.git HEAD branch: master Remote branch: master tracked Local branch configured for 'git pull': master merges with remote master Local ref configured for 'git push': master pushes to master (up to date)

and here is how I fixed it:

$ git remote set-url --push origin ssh://raphink@git.fedorahosted.org/git/augeas.git $ git remote show origin * remote origin Fetch URL: git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/augeas.git Push URL: ssh://raphink@git.fedorahosted.org/git/augeas.git HEAD branch: master Remote branch: master tracked Local branch configured for 'git pull': master merges with remote master Local ref configured for 'git push': master pushes to master (up to date)

Note that the --push option modified only the push URL, so I keep using the public URL for fetching, which is fine.
