The Term "Remote" Repositories in Git

The name "external" repositories has a certain nuance. The point is, in Russian literature, external repositories are called "удаленные" - from the word "far". This is how translators rendered the English word "remote".

But we also use the word "удаленные" for another concept - "something that was deleted". As a result, confusion arises. Expressions like deleting remote (удаленных) repositories are particularly amusing. The reader immediately wonders how we can delete remote repositories if they are already "remote" (удаленные), meaning deleted?

I don't know what those unpleasant people were thinking when they translated the word "remote" in such an original way, but I send them rays of hatred and urge everyone to use the term external repositories. It is the one used throughout this tutorial.

But keep in mind that everywhere - both in tutorials and on forums - the word "remote" (удаленные) is used. In conversations and correspondence, I recommend you use the word "external" and refer everyone to this article.
