This is a really handy trick. I had to come back to this blog a few weeks after reading about this trick after discovering a situation where I needed it.

As a side note, I found a couple of related tricks that were handy.

Say you have a shared commit repository on Github, but you want to maintain your own “fork” for your private branches that aren’t ready for anyone but you to use, you can do something like this

[remote "push-upstream"]
url = SomeOtherGitServer ; a private mirror perhaps
url = git@github.com:public-commonthing.git
url = git@github.com:my-fork.git
push = master

[remote "myfork"]
url = git@github.com:my-fork.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/myfork/*
push = master:master
push = mybranch1:mybranch1
push = mytopicbranch:mytopicbranch

And this /appears/ to Just Work.

Thanks for this interesting tip; it helps me with maintaining repos that are both on github and on our in-house git server. I didn’t realize that you could have several URLs in one “remote” config section.
