Useful to know

A remote such as origin is a local name for connection settings to another repository. git remote -v displays fetch and push addresses. [1]

The name origin does not establish ownership or intended use. When moving a project, check its URL and access. Fetching and pushing can use different addresses, so one familiar name is not a sufficient review before a push.
