How to use Bitbucket and GitHub at the same time for one project?

Question

I have one repository which I want to push into Bitbucket and GitHub. It is vital for my repository to be hosted by both.

Is there a way to do this in Git?

Answer 1

You can use multiple remote repositories with git. But you'll have to push separately into 2 of your remotes I believe.

For example, if your project currently points to github, you can rename your current remote repository to github:

$ git remote rename origin github 

You can then add another remote repository, say bitbucket:

$ git remote add bitbucket [email protected]:your_user/your_repo.git 

Now in order to push changes to corresponding branch on github or bitbucket you can do this:

$ git push github HEAD $ git push bitbucket HEAD 

Same rule applies to pulling: you need to specify which remote you want to pull from:

$ git pull github your_branch $ git pull bitbucket your_branch 

Answer 2

Yes, you can do that. You don't have to push twice but just once to push to both remote repositories. I had the same issue before so wrote how to do it here. Git: Push to / Pull from Both Github and Bitbucket
