Can I push to more than one repository in a single command in git?

Question

Basically I wanted to do something like git push mybranch to repo1, repo2, repo3

right now I'm just typing push many times, and if I'm in a hurry to the the pushing done, I just send them all to the background git push repo1 & git push repo2 &

I'm just wondering if git natively supports what I want to do, or if maybe there's a clever script out there, or maybe a way to edit the local repo config file to say a branch should be pushed to multiple remotes.

Answer 1

You can have several URLs per remote in git, even though the git remote command did not appear to expose this last I checked. In .git/config, put something like this:

[remote "public"]     url = [email protected]:kch/inheritable_templates.git     url = kch@homeserver:projects/inheritable_templates.git 

Now you can say “git push public” to push to both repos at once.

What I do is have a single bare repository that lives in my home directory that I push to. The post-update hook in that repository then pushes or rsyncs to several other publicly visible locations.

Here is my hooks/post-update:

#!/bin/sh # # An example hook script to prepare a packed repository for use over # dumb transports. # # To enable this hook, make this file executable by "chmod +x post-update".  # Update static info that will be used by git clients accessing # the git directory over HTTP rather than the git protocol. git-update-server-info  # Copy git repository files to my web server for HTTP serving. rsync -av --delete -e ssh /home/afranco/repositories/public/ [email protected]:/srv/www/htdocs/git/  # Upload to github git-push --mirror github
