Right now when I type git remote -v in the terminal when I am in my applications directory I get:

heroku  git@heroku.com:falling-samurai-3043.git (fetch)
heroku  git@heroku.com:falling-samurai-3043.git (push)

origin  git@github.com:obsideous/sample_app.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:obsideous/sample_app.git (push)

falling-smurai-3043 no longer exists because I destroyed it from my account on the heroku website. I would like it to look like:

heroku  git@heroku.com:(one that I create).git (fetch)
heroku  git@heroku.com:(one that I create).git (push)

origin  git@github.com:BigBoy1337/sample_app.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:BigBoy1337/sample_app.git (push)

obsideous is my old account and BigBoy1337 is my new GitHub account that I am trying to switch everything over to.
How can I accomplish these changes. I am a noob at this stuff so the more detailed the better. Thanks!

    You can change the remote name by typing (git remote man page):

    git remote set-url heroku git@heroku.com:(one that I create).git
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:BigBoy1337/sample_app.git

    That will update both push and fetch addresses in your git config file.
