Subject: git remote show origin (URL)
Message-ID: <1310400505376-6571492.post@n2.nabble.com>

```
On box (A), when using "git remote show origin", I'm used to seeing something
like the following next to the FETCH/PUSH URL:
"git@somegitrepo.com:somefolder/someproject.git"

The URL is actually pingable.

On box (B), when using "git remote show origin" on an unfamiliar project,
the FETCH/PUSH URL is: "hidden-repos:repositories/mysteryproject.git".

How can I find where the actual url/directory where "hidden-repos" is
pointing?

Thanks,

Frank

Maybe it is using an url.<base>.insteadOf that is set to
"hidden-repos:", check it with "git config -l".

But here the output of "git remote show $repo" is with the actual url,
not with the "hidden" ones, so not sure if it is your case.

HTH,
Santi

Running:
"git config -l"

Shows the same URL displayed in when running: 
"git remote show origin"

I also checked the /etc/hosts file to make sure "hidden-repos" didn't point
to another IP.

I'm stumped...

That should be the actual repository address, where hidden-repos should
be the host name, implicitly using git+ssh as the transport.

There might be a "Host hidden-repos" entry in your .ssh/config or 
/etc/ssh_config that maps the name to the actual hostname.

I appreciate everyone's help.  Ilya Bobyr's suggestion worked.  As Ilya
suggested, it was defined in my ssh_config file.

=========================================
There might be a "Host hidden-repos" entry in your .ssh/config or
/etc/ssh_config that maps the name to the actual hostname.

That name may only be valid in a certain network.
