</>SnippetSearch. A little code. A lot of possibility.

Inspect a GitHub remote URL.

Configure and inspect an example origin without contacting the network.

Shell terminal 
set -euo pipefail
git remote add origin https://github.com/example/project.git
git remote get-url origin

Expected output EXAMPLE

https://github.com/example/project.git

Details

Requires Git and Bash. Run in a disposable practice repository. The test setup below creates the starting files and commits. Replace the example URL with your repository. This command stores the URL locally; it does not authenticate or access GitHub.

✓ Verified

Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS · · git version 2.43.0 · git 1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3

Test inputs, results and environment

The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Snippet process uid 65534 with a read-only root filesystem and temporary working files. Networking disabled. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.

Test input setup

These are the prepared inputs used by the test harness. See Details above for the prerequisites and how to run this example.
