How to undo a "git remote add" statement?

Question

I initialized a repository and added files and folders, and I commited. Now I launched this statement :

git remote add edm-fdm-backend <url_of_remote_repository>

I want to undo it. How to do that ?

If I am not mistaken can't you just use git remote rm? https://help.github.com/en/articles/removing-a-remote

OP didn't add "changes" but a reference to a remote. `reset` won't change that, and have other unintended consequences. I guess you must have read a bit too hastily, we all do that once in a while ^^ – RomainValeri Apr 04 '19 at 07:30
