  2. Go to the control panel.

Update the Git remotes on your dev machines

Git uses remote references to fetch and push changes between your local copy of a repository and the remote version that is stored on the server. After a Git repository or project has been renamed, you should update your remote references. Update your references to that the remote repository URL contains the project and the repository name.

Each member of your team must update their local Git repos to continue connecting from their dev machines to the repo in the project. The instructions below show how to update the remotes for the Fabrikam Mobile repo that was renamed to Fabrikam.

Q&A

Q: Can I rename my repo again? Can I reuse an old repo name?

A: Yes

Q: What if I named my remote something other than the default origin?

A: If you're using:

  • Visual Studio 2015, then edit the remote with the name you used.

  • An older version of Visual Studio or the command prompt, then run this command: git remote set-url {remote_name} {URL_you_copied_from_the_remote_repo}
