#!/bin/bash
# Sometimes you need to move your existing git repository
# to a new remote repository (/new remote origin).
# Here are a simple and quick steps that does exactly this.

Software development, especially mobile development has been improving rapidly. Nowadays, they are things that are unthinkable as of several years ago.

Being able to keep track of what's new in technology today is really difficult, it's daunting, not to say an impossible task; but we can't help but have to keep being updated, unless we want to be left behind.
