Hello,

I used to change remote URL simply by editing .git/config (which may not be most correct way), but out of sudden I am no longer able to do that. So I decided to do it the "proper way" but still - to no avail. Here is what I do and also it's visible what is wrong:

# Display remote URL

petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git remote -v origin    git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy (fetch) origin    git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy (push)

#Now change it to HTTPS instead of SSH

petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/grumpy-irc/grumpy

# Verify if it has changed

petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git remote -v origin    git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy (fetch) origin    git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy (push)

It's still SSH. What am I doing wrong?

petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git --version git version 2.21.0

petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ cat .git/config
