# Create a remote

Remotes are described by remote specifications or remote specs for short. To create a remote, run the `p4 remote` command. This puts the remote specification or spec into a temporary file and invokes the editor configured by the environment variable `P4EDITOR`. You then edit the file to specify depot mappings and other information. Saving the file creates the remote spec.

To modify the remote, invoke `p4 remote` with the `remoteID` of the remote you want to modify; make changes in the editor to the remote spec and then save the file.
