   Remotes are local references to remote repositories. They exist in the local configuration of your copy of the repository.
   
   You can view a list of all of the remotes by using the command
   
   ```
   git remote
   ```
   
   Or, even better, you can see the URLs of the remotes
   
   ```
   git remote -v
   ```
   
   Do note it is possible to set up a remote to pull from one repo and push to another (hence the 2 entries for each remote name).
   
   But the bottom line is, if a remote already exists in your local repository that maps it to a remote one, there is no need to add it again. From that point, you can use its name.
   
   > Do note using remotes is only a shortcut to make commands simpler - you could just as well use URLs to specify which repository to push to, fetch from, or pull from.
   >
   > Also, a remote exists at the top level of the repository, so you can use it for any number of branches.
