git-remote: Show a list of existing remotes, their names and URL.

$ git remote -v

try on your machine

The git remote -v command is used to display the URLs of the remote repositories associated with the current Git project.

In a typical Git project, you may have one or multiple remote repositories where your project is stored. These remote repositories can be on your local machine or hosted on external services like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.

When you run git remote -v, Git lists the names of the remote repositories and their corresponding fetch and push URLs. The fetch URL specifies the location from where Git retrieves data, while the push URL specifies the location to which Git sends data.

The output of git remote -v is typically displayed in a list format, showing the remote repository names (such as "origin") followed by their corresponding URLs. For example:

origin  https://github.com/user/repo.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/user/repo.git (push)

This command is useful to quickly check the configured remote repositories and their URLs, allowing you to verify if the project is connected to the intended remote hosting service or to add/remove remote repositories if needed.
