Git adding another remote
Not the first time I’m touching the topic here :) But yet another repo to set up, and realized I didn’t really get “new remote” vs “remote URI”

Adding another remote
Easy simple take: How to Add a New Remote to your Git Repo | Assembla Help Center
# add
git remote add remote_name_github git@github.com:me/name.git
# show the result ('verify')
git remote -v
# push _specifically to that remote_
git push remote_name_github
Adding another remote URI, to push to both at the same time
Github 1 helps:
git remote set-url --add --push origin git://original/repo.git
git remote set-url --add --push origin git://another/repo.git
… and gives the neat idea to create a remote named all for this purpose, as opposed to changing ‘origin’! That answer is really detailed and shows the process
Adding a remote with multiple pushurls
# take an existing repo, located at remote_uri
# add a remote with that URI
> git remote add all remote_uri
# overwrite its push URI with another one
> git remote set-url --add --push all all_push_uri_overrides_main_uri
# add the original one back
> git remote set-url --add --push all remote_uri
# Two remotes now
> git remote show
all
origin
> git remote show all
* remote all
Fetch URL: remote_uri
Push URL: remote_uri
Push URL: all_push_uri_overrides_main_uri
HEAD branch: master
Remote branch:
master new (next fetch will store in remotes/all)
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (up to date)
I think I got it now. My error was from not understanding that adding a push URI with --add overwrites the existing push URI, and I had to add it again to get the previous one working too.
Nel mezzo del deserto posso dire tutto quello che voglio.
