HowTo use both github and gitea¶

Even though we self-host Gitea, you may still want to use GitHub as a backup and for discovery.

Pushing to both remotes with a single command¶

Add both push URLs (NB! replace my repositories with yours):

git remote set-url --add --push origin git@git.0xbad.cloud:ops/homelab
git remote set-url --add --push origin git@github.com:serpro69/ktchn8s

git remote --v
# origin  git@github.com:serpro69/ktchn8s.git (fetch)
# origin  git@git.0xbad.cloud:ops/homelab.git (push)
# origin  git@github.com:serpro69/ktchn8s.git (push)

Now you can just run git push like usual and it will push to both GitHub and Gitea.

Pushing to a specific remote¶

At this moment I prefer this option for more control and flexibility, even though technically I need to run git push twice to update both repos.

Add a new gitea remote:

git remote add gitea git@git.0xbad.cloud:ops/homelab.git

git remote --v
# gitea   git@git.0xbad.cloud:ops/homelab.git (fetch)
# gitea   git@git.0xbad.cloud:ops/homelab.git (push)
# origin  git@github.com:serpro69/ktchn8s.git (fetch)
# origin  git@github.com:serpro69/ktchn8s.git (push)

Now when you run git push, it will push to github (origin remote). To push to gitea add the new remote name to the push command: git push gitea.
