Hi Thomas, thanks for the answer. I'm sorry, I didnt explain my question clearly. I try to clarify it by this scenario: "Paul has a repository on GitHub called *rep1 *with some files. On his pc, Paul clones it into the local repo called *rep2 *and stored, say, in C:\ "
Now the question is: How does git know that the local repo stored in "C:\rep2" is mapped on the remote rep1 (so that, when I push any local change I've commited, they are sent to the right origin)? Is this piece of info stored in a file? I mean, the* remote -v *command you wrote about, how does it retrieves the info it then displays? Hope this is clearer now. Thanks a lot in advance for your time and help.
