Check in Looker server


If you have access to the Looker server, navigate to the project directory inside of the models directory /looker/models/project_x and run the following code:

git config --get remote.origin.url

lookeruser@instance:~/looker/models/project$ git config --get remote.origin.url

git@github.com::org/repo.git

showing the repo.
