In /home/user/... I only have a .gitconfig (not “.git/config”) that contains only my data and no repository. If I do:

git remote -v

mio     https://github.com/Andrea-Paz/cin-manual-latex (fetch)
mio     https://github.com/Andrea-Paz/cin-manual-latex (push)
origin  git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git (fetch)
origin  git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git (push)

I only used "mio" (my) for translating the manual; I don't use it anymore. In “origin” I only do ‘pull’ and never “push” (I send everything to Phyllis via email).
