Multiple GIT remote repositories

Context

You want to working with multiple Git repositories on one local source code.

Config

For example: There are 2 repos

• Github: git@github.com:PhuSanh/test-a.git
• Gitlab: git@gitlab.com:dpsanh2348/test-b.git

Assuming that you already have github repo on your local machine

git clone git@github.com:PhuSanh/test-a.git

---

Option 1: Config 1 remote for multiple repos

1. Create a new git remote all

   git remote add all git@github.com:PhuSanh/test-a.git
   

   • It can be any name
   • Origin remote can be used as well
2. Register your push URLs

   git remote set-url --add --push all git@github.com:PhuSanh/test-a.git
   git remote set-url --add --push all git@gitlab.com:dpsanh2348/test-b.git
   

Result

• CHECK: git remote -v
• PUSH: Now you can push to 2 repos at the same time

  git push all <your branch>
  

  

• PULL: can not pull from multiple remotes
• FETCH: can fetch all with git fetch --all

---

Option 2: Config multiple remotes for multiple repos

1. Add new remote with gitlab and github name Note: we can use existing origin remote for github

   git remote add github git@github.com:PhuSanh/test-a.git
   git remote add gitlab git@gitlab.com:dpsanh2348/test-b.git
   

   • CHECK: git remote -v
   • PUSH

     git push origin <your branch>
     git push github <your branch>
     git push gitlab <your branch>
     

   • PULL

     git pull origin <your branch>
     git pull github <your branch>
     git pull gitlab <your branch>
