How to remove remote origin from a Git repository

I just did git init to initialize my folder as Git repository and then added a remote repository using git remote add origin URL. Now I want to remove this git remote add origin and add a new repository git remote add origin new-URL. How can I do it?

Instead of removing and re-adding, you can do this:

git remote set-url origin git://new.url.here

See this question: How to change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository?

To remove remote use this:

git remote remove origin

If you insist on deleting it:

git remote remove origin

Or if you have Git version 1.7.10 or older

git remote rm origin

But kahowell's answer is better.

To remove a remote:

git remote remove origin

To add a remote:

git remote add origin yourRemoteUrl

and finally

git push -u origin master

you can try this out,if you want to remove origin and then add it:

git remote remove origin

then:

git remote add origin http://your_url_here

I don't have enough reputation to comment answer of @user1615903, so add this as answer: "git remote remove" does not exist, should use "rm" instead of "remove". So the correct way is:

git remote rm origin
