How do I change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository?

by

You can

git remote set-url origin new.git.url/here

See git help remote. You also can edit .git/config and change the URLs there.

You’re not in any danger of losing history unless you do something very silly (and if you’re worried, just make a copy of your repo, since your repo is your history.)
