Question

I've cloned a repo months ago and would like to know if it was done from my fork or from the original repository. Which git subcommand should I run to get the answer?

Was it helpful?

Solution

By default the origin remote will be the repository cloned from.

To see the list of remotes in the repository use git remote -v. This should be enough to know where it is was cloned from, but to see more details about a specific remote use git remote -v show <remote name>.
