#til you can push to multiple remotes at once with #git.

I created a remote alias called all:

git remote add all git@github.com:my/main-repo.git
git remote set-url --add --push all git@github.com:my/deploy-repo.git

Now when I run:

git push all trunk

…it pushes trunk both to the main repo and to the deploy repo in one shot.

A couple of notes:

• The extra URL is for pushing only (not fetching), which makes sense.
• If one push fails, the other may still succeed, so you can end up in a split state.
• Both targets get the same refs — you can’t map branches differently per remote this way.
• After pushing, git status may still show “ahead” until you fetch (pushing doesn’t refresh remote-tracking refs).

Still, for simple workflows, it’s a neat shortcut, for quickly keeping a couple of remotes up to date.
