Setting up a git remote origin

Using SSH

git remote add origin ssh://login@IP/path/to/repository

Using HTTP

git remote add origin http://IP/path/to/repository

However having a simple git pull as a deployment process is usually a bad idea and should be avoided in favor of a real deployment script.

For anyone who comes here, as I did, looking for the syntax to change origin to a different location you can find that documentation here: https://help.github.com/articles/changing-a-remote-s-url/. Using git remote add to do this will result in "fatal: remote origin already exists."

Nutshell: git remote set-url origin https://github.com/username/repo

(The marked answer is correct, I'm just hoping to help anyone as lost as I was... haha)

You can include the branch to track when setting up remotes, to keep things working as you might expect:

git remote add --track master origin [email protected]:group/project.git   # git
git remote add --track master origin [email protected]:group/project.git   # git w/IP
git remote add --track master origin http://github.com/group/project.git   # http
git remote add --track master origin http://172.16.1.100/group/project.git # http w/IP
git remote add --track master origin /Volumes/Git/group/project/           # local
git remote add --track master origin G:/group/project/                     # local, Win

This keeps you from having to manually edit your git config or specify branch tracking manually.
