GitGit Problem Overview
How can I retrieve the remote git address of a repo?
I tried git remote but that just lists the branches.
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
When you want to show an URL of remote branches, try:
git remote -v
Solution 2 - Git
If you have the name of the remote, you will be able with git 2.7 (Q4 2015), to use the new git remote get-url command:
git remote get-url origin
(nice pendant of git remote set-url origin <newurl>)
See commit 96f78d3 (16 Sep 2015) by Ben Boeckel (mathstuf).

> # remote: add get-url subcommand
> Expanding insteadOf is a part of ls-remote --url and there is no way
to expand pushInsteadOf as well.
Add a get-url subcommand to be able to query both as well as a way to get all configured urls.
Solution 3 - Git
-v. Shows URLs of remote repositories when listing your current remote connections. By default, listing remote repositories only shows you their shortnames (e.g. "origin"). Using the "-v" option, you will also see the remote's URLs in listings.
git remote -v
Solution 4 - Git
The long boring solution, which is not involved with CLI, you can manually navigate to:
your local repo folder ➡ .git folder (hidden) ➡ config file
then choose your text editor to open it and look for url located under the [remote "origin"] section.
