Listing Remote Repositories
The git remote command lists the names of remote repositories connected to your local repository. When you clone a GitHub repository or add a remote, there is usually a remote named origin.

originThis command is sufficient to see only the names of remote repositories.
Viewing Remote Repository URLs
The git remote -v command displays both remote names and their URLs. The fetch URL is used to retrieve data, while the push URL is used to send changes.
git remote -v
origin https://github.com/user/project.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/user/project.git (push)The two URLs can be the same, but different URLs can also be configured when needed.
