Change location for G'MIC repositories on github

Software G'MIC
#1

Hi.
Just a quick message to let you know the URLs of the different G’MIC repositories have changed.
The repos are now hosted under the GreycLab organization, and not under my username anymore.
So the new URLs are:

gmic-qt is still hosted at https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt for the moment. Not sure this one will switch to GreycLab or not.

How do I change location of git pull/git push target or whatever that is called?

#3

Simplest way is just to delete your gmic-community folder and clone it from scratch:

git clone git@github.com:GreycLab/gmic-community.git
#4

If one does not wish to nuke-and-clone, there is the canonical method:

 gosgood@bertha ~/git_repositories/gmic-community/tutorial/Beginner_s_Cookbook $ git remote --verbose
origin	https://github.com/grosgood/gmic-community.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/grosgood/gmic-community.git (push)
upstream	https://github.com/dtschump/gmic-community.git (fetch)
upstream	https://github.com/dtschump/gmic-community.git (push)
gosgood@bertha ~/git_repositories/gmic-community/tutorial/Beginner_s_Cookbook $ git remote set-url upstream https://github.com/GreycLab/gmic-community
gosgood@bertha ~/git_repositories/gmic-community/tutorial/Beginner_s_Cookbook $ git remote --verbose
origin	https://github.com/grosgood/gmic-community.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/grosgood/gmic-community.git (push)
upstream	https://github.com/GreycLab/gmic-community (fetch)
upstream	https://github.com/GreycLab/gmic-community (push)

Back at the Beginning of Time, I named the remote reference upstream, the symbolic name for gmic-community. These commands institute the URL change, formerly at github.com/dtschump, now at github.com/GreycLab.
Documentation: Changing a remote repository’s URL

List your remotes first, to be sure you know what your equivalent to my ‘upstream’ label is. Hope this helps.
EDIT: Afterthought — In choosing one or the other approach, the key question is: ‘Do I have local, un-tracked branches with developing content?’ If ‘yes’, then nuke-and-clone will wipe all that. That probably would not make one happy. if you are not sure, then setting the URL is safer. it is non-destructive and reversible - and bandwidth efficient, compare: setting a local string versus a repository download. If one’s workflow is pure ‘pull-commit-push’ on the master branch, no local branching, git status reports clean and up-to-date with remotes, and you wish to be done with it, then nuke-and-clone. And you’ve probably done that already anyway.
