Will changing git remote affect the rest of the team?

I have a repo I cloned from the master and have made changes tp. I've been told today to start a new repo and push to that, I know I can use the following in Git Shell: 

cd old repo
git remote set-url origin newurl.git
git push -u origin master

But what I don't know, due to lack of experience in teams is whether or not this changes the remote for everyone or just me. If so, how can I send my old repo and changed code to a new repo without affecting the team?

As other developers are working on old-repo they all need to change origin with your new repo origin.

If you create a new-repo & send your changes to that new-repo. Other developers can clone the new-repo or, change their origin as like you.

This will just set your own remote of origin to newurl.git for you're local git configuration.

All this really is doing is changing the following configuration file within ./.git/config

[remote "origin"]
    url = newurl.git
