Hi! The short answer is: git remote add (and git help remote for details). It's also possible to manally edit .git/config if it's basically just a adress change you're doing. The long answer is harder. You've experience with centralized systems. Remember that git is decentralized. Every developer you've is a fully functional unit on his own. All you need is a way for the developers to interact with eachothers. It can be done via e-mail, or with them pulling from eachother directly or as you've done, with one central repository that everyone sync to. The questions you've is rather fundamental to git. I tells me that you do not fully utilize the strengths of git. I suggest reading the progit book.
