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

Hello Petr,

Kind regards, Kevin

Hello Kevin,

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

However git push is still accessing SSH version (which is blocked by FW in this place):

petr.bena@MacBook:~/Documents/grumpy$ git push -v Pushing to git@github.com:grumpy-irc/grumpy

I need to change it to HTTPS

Do you have a URL rewrite rule (url.*.insteadof)?

I don't know. How do I figure that out? There is nothing like this in my ~/.ssh/config

Oh you were right I found it in git config --list, removing this from .gitconfig fixed the problem, no idea how did it get in there
