Learn to add a remote repository with git remote.

What Is a Remote Repository?

A remote is a copy of your local Git repository hosted online or on another server. You use git remote add to connect your local project to a repository on GitHub.

git remote add origin https://github.com/ayse/ilk-projem.git

This command gives the remote repository the name origin. origin is the conventional default remote name in Git projects.

View the Remote Repository Connection

You can run git remote to list the remote repositories you have added. Use the -v option to see more details, including repository addresses.

git remote -v

The output shows the fetch and push addresses for each remote. This lets you verify that the connection is configured correctly.
