Deploy to github and gitlab from same local project

Question

I have a number of Gitlab projects that I'd also like to store as repos in Github. How can I initialize a new Github repo for a project with an existing Gitlab git config?

I read this on mirroring/moving repos, but I don't want to move anything per se, I just want to have the project exist on both Github and Gitlab.

And if I do have a local project with both a Gitlab and Github git config, how can I specify which to push changes to? How would I specify to perhaps push changes to both at the same time?

This is to say you want to be able to deploy to multiple remote repositories if that's the case

To add new repo's run this command

git remote add < shortname > < url >

 git remote add origin-new [email protected]:username/repo-name.git

where:

• origin-new is the remote server name (it can be any valid string)

• [email protected]:username/repo-name.git is the url to your online repo

To Show Your Remotes

$ git remote -v

origin  https://gitlab.com/username/repo-name (fetch)
origin  https://gitlab.com/username/repo-name (push)

origin-new  https://github.com/username/repo-name (fetch)
origin-new  https://github.com/username/repo-name (push)

Pushing to Your Remotes

git push < remote > < branch >

$ git push origin master

$ git push origin-new dev

Fetching and Pulling from Your Remotes

git pull < remote >

git fetch < remote >

$ git pull origin

$ git pull origin-new
