Question

I have two origins in my git repo:

• Origin: this is the GitHub origin.
• Heroku: the Heroku origin.

How can I push to the master branch of both origins with a single git push? I’m currently doing git push origin master && git push heroku master, but I feel there’s a easier way. Thanks!

In your <repo>/.git/config you can do something like this (I’m assuming the github and heroku remotes are already defined, but you may have different actual names for them):

... other stuff ...
[remote "github"]
    fetch = <refspec>
    url = <github_url>
[remote "heroku"]
    fetch = <refspec>
    url = <heroku_url>
[remote "both"]
    url = <github_url>
    url = <heroku_url>

Then, when you run git push both, it will push to both. You can add fetch/push refspecs or other options to the “all” remote definition too, if appropriate/necessary. I don’t think you can have different refspecs for the two urls, though so that could be a minor inconvenience…
