Internal

Overview

This article describes the procedure of adding a second remote to an existing repository. A practical situation when we would need something like this is when we developed an an application in an internal repository - for example a Gogs instance deployed within an OpenShift cluster - and we want to share the example in GitHub, while maintaining the internal repository fully operable. We start from a local repository fully synchronized with the Gogs repository:

git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
nothing to commit, working directory clean
git remote -v show
origin	https://gogs-cicd.apps.openshift.novaordis.io/gogs/novaordis-session-servlet.git (fetch)
origin	https://gogs-cicd.apps.openshift.novaordis.io/gogs/novaordis-session-servlet.git (push)
