Git: Add Remote

Installation

Run ext install git-add-remote from your VS Code ctrl+p window.

Before Usage

For the extension to work, your folder system needs to be set-up in a specific way.

1. The root folder needs to have your .git folder in it.
2. Your credentials must be stored for the current project.

To do step 2, choose either of the following:

• Temporary Credential Store
• Permanent Credential Store

WARNING: The second method will store your credentials in plaintext, not encrypted, which is insecure

Usage

To use the command, press F1 in the Code window, and type:

Git: Add Remote

When the pop-up appears, enter your Remote's name and press < Enter >.

Another pop-up will appear, where you enter the Git Repository's URL you wish to add, and press < Enter >.
