title: How can I delete a remote Git repository from the command line (Git Bash)?
body: <p><strong>I'm trying to remove a remote git repository through Git Bash.</strong> I'm aware that I can just delete it through GitHub; however, I want to learn how to do so through the command line. I don't just want to remove the files in it, or replace it, I want to completely delete it. I spent the last two days sifting through forums, articles, blogs and tutorials, and nothing has worked.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Some initial info:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git remote -v
  thisbranch https://github.com/thisuser/test-repo.git (fetch)
  thisbranch https://github.com/thisuser/test-repo.git (push)
  
  $ git status
  On branch master
  nothing to commit, working directory clean
  
  $ git log
  Author: *info*
  Date: *info*
     adding a new file
  Author: *info*
  Date: *info*
     Initial commit
  
  $ git remote -v show thisbranch
  * remote thisbranch
    Fetch URL: https://github.com/thisuser/test-repo.git
    Push URL: https://github.com/thisuser/test-repo.git
    HEAD branch: master
    Remote branch:
      master tracked
    Local ref configured for 'git push':
      master pushes to master (up to date)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Some things I tried:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git remote remove https://github.com/thisuser/test-repo.git
  error: Could not remove config section 'remote.https://github.com/thisuser/test-repo.git'
  
  $ git remote remove master
  error: Could not remove config section 'remote.master'
  
  $ git remote remove thisbranch
  *returns nothing*
  
  $ git remote -v
  *returns nothing*
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've realized I also never get returned the name 'origin'.</p>
