I have a project finalized and commissioned at Github. Now I want to make a copy of the folder to do some tests and I want to send this project to a new repository on Github. The problem is that this copy is being directed to the repository of the first version and I don’t want to touch the first version, I want to commit to a new repository.

How do I unlink the repository of the old project in this new copy of the previous project?

Note: I have already made many changes to the new project and I do not want to miss it.

Open Terminal and go to the project folder.

Change the current working directory for your local project. List your existing remotes to get the name of the remote you want to change.

$ git remote -v
> origin  [email protected]:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
> origin  [email protected]:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (push)

Change the SSH remote URL to HTTPS with the git remote set-url command.

$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git

Check that the remote URL has been changed.

$ git remote -v
# Verify new remote URL
> origin  https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
> origin  https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git (push)
