Git Push to Github and Heroku

Group assign any git repository, on any git provider, and for as many remotes as you wish.

From your terminal, cd into where your repository is located and run:

$> git remote -v

Should look something like:

heroku  git@heroku.com:activezoo.git (fetch)
heroku  git@heroku.com:activezoo.git (push)
openshift ssh://5340404b5973ca1ff800034d@ruby-activezoo.rhcloud.com/~/git/ruby.git (push)
openshift ssh://5340404b5973ca1ff800034d@ruby-activezoo.rhcloud.com/~/git/ruby.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:michaelminter/active_zoo.git (push)
origin  git@github.com:michaelminter/active_zoo.git (fetch)

Find the Github repo. Usually set up under the origin label.

To create the group remote, add the following command, with your Github repo address switched out with the one listed.

$> git remote add all git@github.com:michaelminter/test.git

Find the Heroku git repo address and switch it out with the repo in this command. Run the command.

$> git remote set-url --add all git@heroku.com:test.git

Keep executing the previous command, switching out the git address, to add more repos to the new “all” remote.

$> git remote -v
all git@github.com:michaelminter/active_zoo.git (fetch)
all git@heroku.com:activezoo.git (push)
all git@github.com:michaelminter/active_zoo.git (push)
heroku  git@heroku.com:activezoo.git (fetch)
heroku  git@heroku.com:activezoo.git (push)
openshift ssh://5340404b5973ca1ff800034d@ruby-activezoo.rhcloud.com/~/git/ruby.git (push)
openshift ssh://5340404b5973ca1ff800034d@ruby-activezoo.rhcloud.com/~/git/ruby.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:michaelminter/active_zoo.git (push)
origin  git@github.com:michaelminter/active_zoo.git (fetch)

Now you can push the same code to multiple remotes with one command.

$> git push all [branch]
