For those times you want to update your remotes
With a note on the slight difference in yelling between the use of `git remote set-url` and the sheepish, silent eater of arguments, `git config remote`. And that you can have a fetch that isn't at the same house of your push URL. On the back of #5

<p>Should you ever need to update a remote's URL, you can do so with

the <code>git remote set-url</code> command.

|

|

<p>In addition to this, you can set a different push URL when you
|
||||
include the <code>--push</code> flag. This allows you to fetch from
|
||||
one repo while pushing to another and yet both use the same remote alias.
|
||||

<p>Internally, the <code>git remote set-url</code> command calls
|
||||
<code>git config remote</code>, but has the added benefit of reporting
|
||||
back any errors. <code>git config remote</code> on the other hand, will
|
||||
silently fail if you mistype an argument or option and not actually set
|
||||
anything.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For example, we'll update the <code>github</code> remote but
|
||||
instead reference it as <code>guhflub</code> in both invocations.
|
||||

|

<b>In a nutshell</b>, you can update the locations of your remotes
|
||||
with <code>git remote set-url</code>. You can also set different push
|
||||
and fetch URLs under the same remote alias.
