+I want to change the remote of my repository. How do I do that?::
+	A remote is an identifier for a location to which Git pushes your
+	changes as well as fetches any new changes from (if any).  There
+	might be different circumstances in which one might need to change
+	the remote URL (see linkgit:git-remote[1]).  To change the remote URL
+	one may use: git remote set-url <name> <newurl>
++
+One can list the remotes of a repository using `git remote -v` command.
+The default name of a remote is 'origin'.
