How to change a connection to GitHub from SSH to HTTPS?
Assuming your remote is called origin
, run
git remote set-url origin https://...
git remote set-url --push origin https://...
You can view the configured remotes with git remote -v
, which should now show your updated URLs.
See the documentation for git-remote
for more details.
here are some aliases (oneliners) to switch your repo from ssh to https and back. Assuming your default remote is named origin
and your remote is github.com
alias git-https="git remote set-url origin https://github.com/$(git remote get-url origin | sed 's/https:\/\/github.com\///' | sed 's/git@github.com://')"alias git-ssh=" git remote set-url origin git@github.com:$( git remote get-url origin | sed 's/https:\/\/github.com\///' | sed 's/git@github.com://')"
they're a bit longer than necessary to make them idempotent
