How can I retrieve the remote git address of a repo?

Question

How can I retrieve the remote git address of a repo?

I tried git remote but that just lists the branches.

Answer 1

When you want to show an URL of remote branches, try:

git remote -v

Answer 2

If you have the name of the remote, you will be able with git 2.7 (Q4 2015), to use the new git remote get-url command:

git remote get-url origin

(nice pendant of git remote set-url origin <newurl>)

See commit 96f78d3 (16 Sep 2015) by Ben Boeckel (mathstuf).

remote: add get-url subcommand

Expanding insteadOf is a part of ls-remote --url and there is no way to expand pushInsteadOf as well.
Add a get-url subcommand to be able to query both as well as a way to get all configured urls.

Answer 3

The long boring solution, which is not involved with CLI, you can manually navigate to:

your local repo folder ➡ .git folder (hidden) ➡ config file

then choose your text editor to open it and look for url located under the [remote "origin"] section.
