Removing a remote references

---

---

To remove a remote from your local repository, use the git remote rm command:

$ git remote -v
# View current remotes
# origin  git@github.com:user/repo.git (fetch)
# origin  git@github.com:user/repo.git (push)
# destination  git@github.com:forker/repo.git (fetch)
# destination  git@github.com:forker/repo.git (push)
$ git remote rm destination
# Remove remote
$ git remote -v
# Verify removal
# origin  git@github.com:user/repo.git (fetch)
# origin  git@github.com:user/repo.git (push)

Tip: This does not delete the remote repository from 
the server, it simply removes the remote and its references from your 
local repository.
