I am on git version 2.20.0 $ git remote does not show remotes configured in named files in $GIT_DIR/remotes/ I do not think that this is the intended behavior. In particular: $ git init --bare test.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home/guraltsev/admin/test/git/test.git/ $ cd test.git $ mkdir -p remotes mkdir: created directory 'remotes' $ echo -e "URL: /testremote.git \n Push: *:* \n Pull: refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/testremote/* " > remotes/testremote $ git remote $ git remote show testremote fatal: '/testremote.git' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. The second to last command should show testremote as a remote. Best, Gennady
