Preserve git remotes

Question

I have fixed network of git remotes and I would like them to be attached to repository. Unfortunately git-clone doesn't clone remotes. Is there a way around it?

Answer 1

I begin this command

for save the remotes in a .gitremotes file

Answer 2

There is no way to do this with git, as far as I know.

Telling users to run scripts post-clone is what people tend to do. If it's a ruby project, you probably have rake, for example, so you could have a rake post_install task.
