Want to not care whether Github’s up or down at the moment?
Have faulty servers of your own? Or tend to anger people with bot armies?
Want to push to two Git Repos via a single command?
Want to do it easily via a simple .git edit?
My use case is pushing code that resides on Github as well as on Bitbucket. I want it available in both remote locations in case one is unavailable.
Here’s how you do it:
Add the two remotes as normal
git remote add origin GIT_LINK_TO_REPO
git remote add bitbucket GIT_LINK_TO_REPO
In local repo, edit .git/config. Find the entry for origin and bitbucket
[remote "origin"]
url = git@github.com:zph/zph.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[remote "bitbucket"]
url = ssh://git@bitbucket.org/zph/zph.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/bitbucket/*
Add a new entry using that information and urls:
[remote "all"]
url = git@github.com:zph/zph.git
url = ssh://git@bitbucket.org/zph/zph.git
Now when pushing code:
git push all
