Question

The setup:

• a laptop L
• an office server hosting various repositories SOffice
• a customer’s database server SCustomer

I’m writing code on L for a customer, and regularly want to push it both to SOffice as well as SCustomer.

I know I could use a changegroup hook to push to a third repository from the second (as described in this answer), but this requires that the second can reach the third network-wise.

In my case, each is behind a firewall, and only my laptop typically accesses both through a VPN (or by being physically there). I could set up the VPN on SOffice to get to SCustomer, but I’d rather not.

Is there a way I can, say, set default to two repositories?

Answer 1

There’s a MultirepoExtension that adds commands for doing any operation on multiple repositories.

Or you could create an alias to push to both like:

[aliases]
pushboth = !$HG push http://first ; $HG push http://second

or you could create a pre-push hook that pushes to the other one. Something like:

[hooks]
pre-push = hg push http://second

But I like (and upvoted) krtek’s answer the most. Just give each a path alias and run push twice with the short names instead of the URLs.
