#Git reset origin update#

The effect is most easily seen by looking at Figure 1 again.

Where the reset command moves the branch pointer back in the chain (typically) to 'undo' changes, the revert command adds a new commit at the end of the chain to 'cancel' changes. The net effect of the git revert command is similar to reset, but its approach is different. Before you use the hard option, be sure that's what you really want to do, since the command overwrites any uncommitted changes. In effect, it resets (clears out) the staging area and overwrites content in the working directory with the content from the commit you reset to. This overwrites any local changes you haven't committed. Using these options can be useful in targeted circumstances such as git reset -hard . These options include: hard to reset the commit being pointed to in the repository, populate the working directory with the contents of the commit, and reset the staging area soft to only reset the pointer in the repository and mixed (the default) to reset the pointer and the staging area.

You should be directed to the 'Remote details' window where you can edit the details (URL/Path/Host Type) of the remote path.The git reset command also includes options to update the other parts of your local environment with the contents of the commit where you end up. If you need to edit an already added remote path, just click the 'Edit' button. The new remote path should be added on the repository now. A 'Remote details' window will open.Įnter the URL/Path for the remote repositoryĮnter the username for the hosting service for the remote repository.īack on the Repository Settings window, click 'OK'.

Just be sure that you've opened it in a place where a repository is. You would only have to update the USERNAME in the git remote set-url command.Ĭonsole git remote set-url origin NOTE: If you've changed your GitHub username, you can follow the same process as above to update the change in the username associated with your repository. In case of SSH, you can change the URL from REPOSITORY.git to NEW_REPOSITORY.git like: $ git remote set-url origin in case of HTTPS, you can change the URL from REPOSITORY.git to NEW_REPOSITORY.git like: $ git remote set-url origin Depending on the output of git remote -v, you can change the URL in the following manner: If your repository is using SSH you will see something like: > origin (fetch)Īnd if your repository is using HTTPS you will see something like: > origin (fetch)Ĭhanging the URL is done with git remote set-url. Navigate to the project root of the local repository and check for existing remotes: git remote -v And yes, I know it is bad form to mess with git internals.

You should see something like: įetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* git/config file in your working directory.

Update: Thanks to for pointing out there is an easy way with recent git versions (post Feb, 2010): git remote set-url origin ssh:///usr/local/gitroot/myproject.git This meant finding a way of migrating the local repositories to get back in sync. The server that I’ve been using to collaborate on a few git projects with had the domain name expire.

Hopefully this isn’t something you need to do.
