Mirroring a repository across Github, Sourceforge and Google Code

Question

Is it possible to mirror a git repository (sync across all hosts) on GitHub, SourceForge and Google Code given they all support git?

Answer 1

You can edit your .git/config file to create a remote that pushes to multiple repositories.

[remote "everyone"]
    url = https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
    url = ssh://USERNAME@git.code.sf.net/p/PROJECTNAME/MOUNTPOINT
    url = https://PROJECT.googlecode.com/git

or with the git config --add command:

git config --add remote.everyone.url https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
git config --add remote.everyone.url ssh://USERNAME@git.code.sf.net/p/PROJECTNAME/MOUNTPOINT
git config --add remote.everyone.url https://PROJECT.googlecode.com/git

Now when you type git push everyone master, you'll push the master branch to all three remotes.
