The command git remote set-url ${remote_name} ${new_url} is used to change the URL of a remote repository in Git.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • git remote: This refers to the Git remote command, which is used to manage the remote repositories associated with your local repository.
  • set-url: This is an option of the git remote command. It is used to set the URL of a remote repository.
  • ${remote_name}: This is a placeholder that represents the name of the remote you want to modify. You replace ${remote_name} with the actual name of the remote repository you want to change.
  • ${new_url}: This is another placeholder that represents the new URL you want to set for the remote repository. You replace ${new_url} with the actual URL you want to assign to the remote repository.
