Now, let's add a bob as a new remote:

$ rad remote add did:key:z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk --name bob
✓ Remote bob added
✓ Remote-tracking branch bob/master created for z6Mkt67…v4N1tRk

Now, we can see that there is a new remote in the list of remotes:

$ rad remote list
bob z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk (fetch)
rad (canonical upstream)                             (fetch)
rad z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi (push)

You can see both bob and rad as remotes. The rad remote is our personal remote of the project.

For the remote-tracking branch to work, we fetch bob:

$ git fetch bob
From rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk
 * [new branch]      master     -> bob/master

We can now see the remote-tracking branch that was setup:

$ git branch -r -v
  bob/master f2de534 Second commit
  rad/master f2de534 Second commit

When we're finished with the bob remote, we can remove it:

$ rad remote rm bob
✓ Remote `bob` removed
$ git branch -r -v
  rad/master f2de534 Second commit

Now, add another time bob but without specify the name, so we should be able to fetch the node alias from our db!

$ rad remote add did:key:z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk
✓ Remote bob@z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk added
✓ Remote-tracking branch bob@z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk/master created for z6Mkt67…v4N1tRk
