How to use git remote ?

1. Open the Git terminal (or command prompt) and navigate to the project folder where your Git repository is initialized.
   
2. Check Existing Remote Repositories:
   • git remote
     • It will show the names of all connected remotes (e.g., origin).
   • git remote -v
     • It will display the URLs of the remotes along with their fetch/push information.
3. Add GitHub Repository (If Not Connected Yet):
   • If there is no existing remote, or you're adding it for the first time, run the following command:
     • git remote add origin https://github.com/SmartProgrammingCoders/GitDemo.git
   • This command links your local Git project to the GitHub repository.
   • Here :
     • origin : It is the nickname for your GitHub repo (can be anything).
     • https://github.com/SmartProgrammingCoders/GitDemo.git : It is the repository URL i.e. actual location of your GitHub repository which we have created in previous tutorial.
4. The commands will show the following output:

   • Example:
     • git remote add origin https://github.com/SmartProgrammingCoders/GitDemo.git
   • This sets up a connection named origin to your GitHub repo.
5. Rename a remote:
   • git remote rename <old-name> <new-name>
   • Example:
     • git remote rename origin gitdemorepo
