How to give a git repo a name?

Question

I am making a remote repo by using these command

mkdir NewRepo
cd NewRepo
git init

Then I clone this rep

Answer 1

Repositories don't have names, you just use the folder name (I suppose you could name the folder "app.git":

git clone user@server:/path/to/app

Remotes do have names, e.g. "origin" or whatever you like. This is up to the client though, not a property of the remote repository.

git remote add origin user@server:/path/to/app
