How do I remove an invalid remote I added in Git?

Here's the line I fired:

git remote add Nakor git://github.com.nakor/CherryTomato.git

I made a mistake and the command should have been:

git remote add Nakor git://github.com/nakor/CherryTomato.git

When I try to run the second command, I get this error:

fatal: Remote Nakor already exists.

Which is understandable. How can I edit the endpoint the remote Nakor is pointing to?

you can use the set-url subcommand of git remote:

git remote set-url Nakor git://github.com/nakor/CherryTomato.git

When all else fails:

git config --edit

Under...

[remote "Nakor"]

...edit the line...

    url = git://github.com.nakor/CherryTomato.git

git remote --help tells all. In this instance, use git remote set-url ....
