Git: How to remove secondary remote repo

I had set up a 2nd remote repository by running this command

git remote set-url origin --push --add <another remote>

When I do a git remote -v

origin  https://url1.com/a.git (fetch)
origin  https://url2.com/a.git (push)

How can I remove one of the remote repo?

Looking at git remote --help, I see that I can do

git remote remove origin, but would that remove both of them?

What's the best practice to have multiple remote URLs? Should I have set different branch names instead of having 2 origins?

You can set up a 2nd (or more) remote repository by remote add. sample:

git remote add myOrigin1 url1
git remote add myOrigin2 url2
.
.
.

then you can remove remote by:

git remote remove myOrigin1
git remote remove myOrigin2
.
.
.

You just have one remote, what happens is that Git by default sets up separately the url for push and fetch. You can leave this as is.

Your situation has only one remote, origin. To change the push value of the remote, without adding a new value, use git remote set-url without --add. To be extra-explicit, you can also specify the URL that you want to replace:

git remote set-url origin --push https://url1.com/a.git https://url2.com/a.git

This replaces your updated url2 with your original url1.
