Quick: You’re in a local copy of a Git, Subversion, Mercurial or Bazaar repository. How do you figure out the URL of the remote (primary) repository?

Git

git config --get remote.origin.url

or, if you want all of them:

git remote -v

If you put the command in a shell script called git-url, you can simply invoke it like this:

git url

Subversion

svn info | grep -i url

Mercurial

hg paths default

Bazaar

bzr info 2>&1 |grep 'parent branch'

Shell scripts or aliases (e.g., svnurl, bzrurl, hgurl, git-url) are useful finger-savers for these commands.
