+# Change the URL of a remote repository
+
+The `git remote set-url` command changes an existing remote repository URL.
+
+**This command takes two arguments:**
+
+1. An existing remote name. For example, origin or upstream are two common choices.
+
+2. A new URL for the remote. For example, `https://github.com/USERNAME/OTHERREPOSITORY.git`
+
+**So to change the URL of a remote repository you would do something like this:**
+
+1. View the existing remote repository:
+
+    ```git remote -v```
+
+2. Change the URL of the remote repository:
+
+    ```git remote set-url origin https://github.com/USERNAME/OTHERREPOSITORY.git```
+
+3. And you may verify the new remote repository by doing:
+
+    ```git remote -v```
