Change a git remote origin

The easiest way to tweak this imho is to edit the .git/config file in your repository. Look for the entry you messed up and just tweak the URL.

On my machine in a repo I reguarlly use it looks like this:

KidA% cat .git/config 
[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    ignorecase = true
    autocflg = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = ssh://localhost:8888/opt/local/var/git/project.git
    #url = ssh://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80/opt/local/var/git/project.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

The line you see commented out is an alternative address for the repository that I sometimes switch to simply by changing which line is commented out.

This is the file that is getting manipulated under-the-hood when you run something like git remote rm or git remote add but in this case since its only a typo you made it might make sense to correct it this way.
