What is origin mapped to, how to find out

git

Solution

git remote -v

will list them. The source for this information can be seen by inspecting `.git/config`:

cat .git/config

The `config` file in the `.git` directory at the base of your repository contains all the configuration in a plain-text format.

You'll see something like this:

[remote "origin"]
        url = git@git.assembla.com:myRepo.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

The `url` line (in git config parlance, the value of `remote.origin.url`) contains the remote URL.

The other way to find out is by executing `git config remote.origin.url`:

$ git config remote.origin.url
git@git.assembla.com:myRepo.git
$

Problem

Say you ``` git remote add origin git@git.assembla.com:myRepo.git ``` And then .. you know .. you forget what exactly `origin` is mapped to :( How can you find out?
