Can someone explain what each of the commands do?
Thanks.

Wouldn't git remove set-url origin <url> be shorter?

Wouldn't git remove set-url origin <url> be shorter?

it would be if it worked, however it rarely works for all sorts of reasons (push and fetch urls being different, different branches having different remotes, multiple urls for a single remote)

After doing this, github desktop wants me to publish the local copy!?!
If I use
$ git remote set-url origin <remote_url>
I don't run into this problem. They are properly synced.

Thank you. As a noob, it is very helpful to see the simple way things get done.

After GitHub changed the default branch name from master to main, I used:

$ git remote rm origin
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:aplikacjainfo/proj1.git
$ git config main.remote origin
$ git config main.merge refs/heads/main
