how do I sync my repository to both GitHub and my internal Git server?

Question

We have an internal Git server and use Github.com however I am confused on how to sync my repo to both github.com and our internal git server, is this even possible?

I heard something about git remotes but i am not sure how to set that up

Answer 1

Add a remote using the git remote command, for example, git remote add github [email protected]:user/repo.git.

If you want to push separately, you're set. If you'd like to have git push push to multiple remotes, you can setup your .git/config as shown in this answer. In short, you rename your current origin remote, and create a new origin which contains multiple url entries and no fetch entry, then configure your branches to pull from whichever source you consider authoritative.

You can use a non-origin remote for the combined push if you'd like to have that functionality, but don't want it to be the default behavior.
