I want to push a local repo to multiple remote GIT repositories to achieve redundancy in my backup scheme. So, let's say I plan to use Github and BitBucket to host my repositories.

I have two questions.

  1. Is this approach advisable?
  2. If so, how should I best approach writing a shell script to automate my backup procedures? For example, would I need to change my repo identity in the shell script for every backup operation or does a set of commands exist that will make this process easier?

  • Do you even need a shell script? Just use git push

    @immibis: My question regards that I will have multiple repos. So are you saying the best approach would be to manually change the repo destination prior to each git push command? What if I have more than two repos for redundancy? I was hoping there might be a way to submit a list of target repos that can be "shotgun blasted" with a single git push command for the purposes of redundancy.

    git push origin master; git push backup master would work, if your two remotes are called origin and backup for example.

    You can probably use git hooks to push to other remotes after having pushed to e.g. origin

    I personally would use a post-receive hook, and inside that have n push commands to n redundant repos
