title: Rstudio: Changing origin for git version control of project
body: <p>I originally set up git in Rstudio while enrolled in the <a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-scientists-tools" rel="noreferrer">Data Scientist's Toolbox</a> course at Coursera. Unfortunately, I did this in my phd project. The repository no longer exists on github. I am now attempting to write my thesis in rmarkdown using knitr and bookdown. I would like to use version control, both to learn proper git workflow and to have a structured back up of everything I have done in my thesis. However, I have been unable to change the version control repository in Rstudio.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I am unable to change this in the Tools > Version control > Project setup > Git/SVN menu. The Origin: textbox is unchangable. </li>
  <li>I tried creating a new project using the old phd project's working directory. This also cloned the version control settings.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>How do I change the origin to accomplish what is described above?</p>
