Deleting duplicate reference to remote Git repo (without deleting the repo)

I currently have 2 references to the same remote Github repo. Both references have the same remote URL, so when I do git remote -v I get:

myrepo  https://github.com/<user ID>/myrepo (fetch)
myrepo  https://github.com/<user ID>/myrepo (push)
origin  https://github.com/<user ID>/myrepo (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/<user ID>/myrepo (push)

I want to delete the myrepo remote reference without deleting the remote repo. So I want to end up with the following when I do git remote -v:

origin  https://github.com/<user ID>/myrepo (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/<user ID>/myrepo (push)

I wasn't sure if git remote remove myrepo will delete the remote repo or just the reference to it.

git remote rm myrepo is what you're looking for. It will not delete the remote repository but just your local reference to it.
