title: Git Pushing to Multiple Remotes
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Git's greatest strength is its first-class support for decentralization.
|
|
Sadly, GitHub has taken over as the sole location to store code for many
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
In order to not *put all my eggs into one basket*, I want to utilize multiple
|
|
code hosting websites to store my public repositories.
|
|
This is not only for the GitHub zombie apocolypse scenario, but local
|
|
outages do in fact happen and its nice to have a backup.
|
|
|
|
Ideally this backup would not come at a cost of convinience. In fact,
|
|
we can edit the remotes of our git repository so that a simple
|
|
`git push` updates all of our remotes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is an example from my website.
|
|
Within your repository, use the command `git config -e` to open an editor with your
|
|
repository's git conifguration. Then edit the origin block to be configured
|
|
with multiple push-urls.
|
|
```ini
|
|
[remote "origin"]
|
|
url = git@github.com:Brandon-Rozek/website.git
|
|
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
|
|
pushurl = git@github.com:Brandon-Rozek/website.git
|
|
pushurl = git@git.sr.ht:~brandonrozek/website
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After this, typing `git push` every pushurl you have configured.
|
|
For me, it updates both my [GitHub repository](https://github.com/brandon-rozek/website)
|
|
as well as my [SourceHut repository](https://sr.ht/~brandonrozek/website/).
|
|
|
|
I only recently started using [SourceHut](https://sr.ht/).
|
|
It's designed by [Drew Devault](https://drewdevault.com/)
|
|
and others to feature the original usage of git, via email.
|
|
This method is still in use by the Linux kernel development team.
|
|
I'm excited to try it out and hopefully write some future posts on this concept. |
