How to change GitHub repository in IDEA Intellij?

Question

I've lost access to my previous account on GitHub, so created new one and now, when I am trying to share my project ( which was shared on GitHub before), I get this message:

Can't get repository info: {myRepositoryName}
404: Not Found - Not Found

How to tell IDEA Intellij that I want to share project on different repository? thanks

Answer 1

TO CHANGE GITHUB CREDENTIALS

From an open project:

File > Settings > [Project Settings] > Version Control > GitHub

Or

File > Other Settings > Default Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Version Control > GitHub

From the Welcome Screen

Configure > Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Version Control > GitHub

TO CHANGE THE GIT REPOSITORY

This needs to be done via command line or the Terminal Tool Window in IDEA (Tools > Terminal Window). See Stackoverflow topic How to change a remote repository URI using Git? for information.

Answer 2

Update or add Git repository URL in Intellij

VCS - > Git - > Remotes

Popup will open with all repository URLs configured, you can simply edit them or add new one.

Answer 3

As of 2021 IntelliJ versions, this is now called "Manage Remotes" not just "Remotes"

Copy in the clone URL from github/bitbucket etc...
