git remote set-url <name> <newurl> command changes existing remote repository URL.

For example, to switch from a github repository from HTTPS to SSH:

  1. Change the current working directory to local project.
  2. List existing remotes in order to get the name of the remote to change.
git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/shark-oxi/RawSec.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/shark-oxi/RawSec.git (push)
  1. Change remote's URL from HTTPS to SSH with the git remote set-url command.
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:shark-oxi/RawSec.git
  1. Verify that the remote URL has changed.
git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:shark-oxi/RawSec.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:shark-oxi/RawSec.git (push)
