How can I determine the URL that a local Git repository was originally cloned from?
If you want only the remote URL, or if your are not connected to a network that can reach the remote repo:
git config --get remote.origin.urlIf you require full output and you are on a network that can reach the remote repo where the origin resides :
git remote show originWhen using git clone (from GitHub, or any source repository for that matter) the default name for the source of the clone is "origin". Using git remote show will display the information about this remote name. The first few lines should show:
C:\Users\jaredpar\VsVim> git remote show origin* remote origin Fetch URL: git@github.com:jaredpar/VsVim.git Push URL: git@github.com:jaredpar/VsVim.git HEAD branch: master Remote branches:If you want to use the value in the script, you would use the first command listed in this answer.
Should you want this for scripting purposes, you can get only the URL with
git config --get remote.origin.url
