# Add or Set Remote URL

Note:- You can create a local git repo with "git init" command. Then you wont have the remote repository set. In that case you can add a remote repository with the following command.

```
git remote add origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
  -- or --
git remote add origin git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
```

If you want to change the url of an existing remote repository:

```
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
  -- or --
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
```

To find remote repo 

```
git remote -v
```
