Hello,

is there a way to get remote url  for the current branch? That is the
url that will be used when I call `git pull`. It doesn't seem to be a
particularly easy task.

Thank you!

You'd do something like this (sans error checking):

    git remote get-url $(git config branch.$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD).remote)

I.e. your HEAD may have remote tracking info set up, this'll get the
remote URL for the remote it points at.
