ABOUT remote.origin.url

Question

I am unable to understand or edit the two conflicting remote.origin.url's in my Codeforces repository for the command "git config --list" . Someone please help me out what they mean!! And also please tell me how to change them.

I used git config remote.origin.url https://github.com/g1g19/Codeforces.git But I am not able to change the upper one of the below attached output for "git config --list"

$ git config --list   
user.name=g1g19         
user.email=gopichandpaturi@gmail.com   
core.editor=emacs   
merge.tool=vimdiff   
remote.origin.url=https://github.com/g1g19/subsurface.git  
core.repositoryformatversion=0   
core.filemode=true         
core.bare=false     
core.logallrefupdates=true  
remote.origin.url=https://github.com/g1g19/Codeforces.git

git config --list lists the contents of all relevant config files, that is /etc/gitconfig (system-wide), ~/.gitconfig (user level) and .git/config (repo specific). If they contain conflicting entries, the smallest scope wins. Please look through all 3 files. I hope that helps to understand where the duplicate entry is coming from.

As to remote.origin.url :

• remote is any other repo your repo knows about.
• remote.origin is the repo you cloned yours from.
• remote.origin.url is its URL.
