How to make git repo remember all remotes?

Question

I have a git repo that is a fork of another repo. As a rule I will normally add a remote called upstream, which is the original repo I forked from.

$ git rem         


        

Answer 1

That is impossible. Git only clones the repo’s content, never its settings. If your want to hard-wire remotes into your repo (it stands to question whether that is a good idea), create a script repo-setup.sh in your repo root that does something like this:

git remote rm origin
git remote rm upstream
git remote add origin git@github.com:skela/awesomeproject.git
git remote add upstream git://github.com/bob/awesomeproject.git

Then run this file after you cloned the repository.
