Change the Origin in Git when using TOWER


Using the TOWER Git application, it appears impossible to change the ORIGIN. So how do I change the GIT Origin?

With such a paid application, one would expect it to save all the Terminal activity, at least in regards to its function which it to make Git more visual.


Solution

  • It is very easy to edit the origin in Tower! Simply open the repository in Tower, right-click on your remote (origin) and select "Edit Connection Settings". There, enter the new URL in the Fetch URL field. That's it!
