pull push from multiple remote locations

Question

The short  is there a way to have a git repo push to and pull from a list of remote repos  rather than a single  origin     The long  I often have a situation when I m developing an app in multiple computers  with different connectivity     say a laptop while on transit  a computer  A  while I m in a certain location  and another computer  B  while on another  Also  the laptop might have connectivity with only either  A  or  B   and sometimes both   What I would like to is for git to always  pull  from and  push  to all the computers it can currently connect to  so it s easier to jump from one machine to the other and continue working seamlessly

You can configure multiple remote repositories with the git remote command   git remote add alt alt-machine  path to repo   To fetch from all the configured remotes and update tracking branches  but not merge into HEAD  do   git remote update   If it s not currently connected to one of the remotes  it will take time out or throw an error  and go on to the next  You ll have to manually merge from the fetched repositories  or cherry-pick  depending on how you want to organize collecting changes   To fetch the master branch from alt and pull it into your current head  do   git pull alt master   So in fact git pull is almost shorthand for git pull origin HEAD  actually it looks in the config file to determine this  but you get the idea    For pushing updates  you have to do that to each repo manually  A push was  I think  designed with the central-repository workflow in mind

I added two separate pushurl to the remote  origin  in the  git congfig file  When I run git push origin  branchName  Then it will run through and push to each url  Not sure if there is an easier way to accomplish this but this works for myself to push to Github source code and to push to My visualStudio source code at the same time    remote  origin     url    Main Repo URL    fetch    refs heads   refs remotes origin     pushurl    repo1 URL    pushurl    reop2 URl

You ll need a script to loop through them  Git doesn t a provide a  push all   You could theoretically do a push in multiple threads  but a native method is not available   Fetch is even more complicated  and I d recommend doing that linearly   I think your best answer is to have once machine that everybody does a push   pull to  if that s at all possible

add an alias to global gitconfig  home user  gitconfig  with below command   git config --global alias pushall   f    for var in   git remote show   do echo  pushing to  var   git push  var  done     f    Once you commit code  we say      git push   to push to origin by default  After above alias  we can say     git pushall   and code will be updated to all remotes including origin remote

Since git 1 8  October 2012  you are able to do this from the command line   git remote set-url origin --push --add user1 repo1 git remote set-url origin --push --add user2 repo2 git remote -v   Then git push will push to user1 repo1  then push to user2 repo2

Doing this manually is no longer necessary  with modern versions of git  See Malvineous s solution  below   Reproduced here   git remote set-url origin --push --add  lt a remote gt  git remote set-url origin --push --add  lt another remote gt      Original answer   This something I   ve been using for quite a while without bad consequences and suggested by Linus Torvalds on the git mailing list   araqnid   s solution is the proper one for bringing code into your repository    but when you  like me  have multiple equivalent authoritative upstreams  I keep some of my more critical projects cloned to both a private upstream  GitHub  and Codaset   it can be a pain to push changes to each one  every day   Long story short  git remote add all of your remotes individually    and then git config -e and add a merged-remote  Assuming you have this repository config    remote  GitHub       url   git github com elliottcable Paws o git     fetch    refs heads   refs remotes GitHub    branch  Master       remote   GitHub     merge   refs heads Master  remote  Codaset       url   git codaset com elliottcable paws-o git     fetch    refs heads   refs remotes Codaset    remote  Paws       url   git github com Paws Paws o git     fetch    refs heads   refs remotes Paws         to create a merged-remote for  Paws  and  Codaset   I can add the following after all of those    remote  Origin       url   git github com Paws Paws o git     url   git codaset com elliottcable paws-o git   Once I   ve done this  when I git push Origin Master  it will push to both Paws Master and Codaset Master sequentially  making life a little easier

Adding the all remote gets a bit tedious as you have to setup on each machine that you use   Also  the bash and git aliases provided all assume that you have will push to all remotes   Ex  I have a fork of sshag that I maintain on GitHub and GitLab   I have the upstream remote added  but I don t have permission to push to it    Here is a git alias that only pushes to remotes with a push URL that includes     psall        f           for R in   git remote -v   awk      push    print  1      do       git push  R  1        done          f

I took the liberty to expand the answer from nona-urbiz  just add this to your    bashrc    git-pullall      for RMT in   git remote   do git pull -v  RMT  1  done        alias git-pullall git-pullall  git-pushall      for RMT in   git remote   do git push -v  RMT  1  done    alias git-pushall git-pushall   Usage   git-pullall master  git-pushall master    or git-pushall   If you do not provide any branch argument for git-pullall then the pull from non-default remotes will fail  left this behavior as it is  since it s analogous to git

For updating the remotes  i e  the pull case   things have become easier   The statement of Linus     Sadly  there s not even any way to fake this out with a git    alias    in the referenced entry at the Git mailing list in elliottcable s answer is no longer true   git fetch learned the --all parameter somewhere in the past allowing to fetch all remotes in one go   If not all are requested  one could use the --multiple switch in order to specify multiple remotes or a group

This answer is different from the prior answers because it avoids the needless and asymmetric use of the --push option in the set-url command of git remote  In this way  both URLs are symmetric in their configuration  For skeptics  the git config as shown by cat    git config looks different with versus without this option   Clone from the first URL   git clone git github com myuser myrepo git   Add the second URL   git remote set-url --add origin git gitlab com myuser myrepo git   Confirm that both URLs are listed for push     git remote -v origin  git github com myuser myrepo git  fetch  origin  git github com myuser myrepo git  push  origin  git gitlab com myuser myrepo git  push     git config --local --get-regexp  remote      url  remote origin url git github com myuser myrepo git remote origin url git gitlab com myuser myrepo git   Push to all URLs in sequence   git push   To delete an added URL  git remote set-url --delete origin git gitlab com myuser myrepo git
