How to change GitHub repository in IDEA intelliJ

Question

I have a project in intelliJ that's synchronized with a GitHub repository and I want to change it to another repository (same account).

To clarify: I have project A on repository R1. I have another repository R2.

I want to push the project A to repository R2.

You cannot edit Git remotes from within IntelliJ. There is a feature request to add this at IDEA-87099 , or at least to be able to add remotes. Currently you have to use the commandline or any other git client to manage remotes of a repository. If the remote is added though, you can push, pull, diff etc. with IntelliJ.

You can of course also simply edit .git/config from within IntelliJ to add the remote configuration without the need to execute any further commandline or GUI tool.
