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

You can

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

(see git help remote) or you 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.)
