if I have two git projects on my machine with two different ProjectNames
can I manage it with this code in two directories like this
/foo1$ git remote add origin [email protected]:username/ProjectName-1
/foo2$ git remote add origin [email protected]:username/ProjectName-2
Is it getting stored in the directory or in a git config file in system?
The information is stored in each repository (project), in the .git/config file.
Yes you are doing the right thing by adding the remote to each repository separately.
Sure you can. When you create new repository on GitHub it shows help screen how to checkout new project or how to add GitHub as remote:
cd existing_git_repo
git remote add origin [email protected]:username/test.git
git push origin master
Remotes are stored only locally, you can always change them.
git remote add remote_name remote_locationremote_name is usually origin in most examples. If you have more than one remote then you will use a different name. For github I usually use "github" instead of origin and have command aliases built around this to make life easier (ie- git config --global alias.pg=push github master). There is also a github ruby gem that provides shortcuts for using github.
remote_location is the url or scp path to the remote repo. Repos using ssh, including private github repos use scp paths in the form of user@host:path/to/repo.git. Github abstracts this out to git@github:username/repo.git. Read only repos use http and are simple urls to the git repo http://host/path/to/repo.git.
