How to Set Up and Push to Two Remote Git Repositories (GitHub and Gitee)

This article demonstrates how to manage a project with two remote Git repositories—GitHub and Gitee—so that code can be synchronized to both platforms.

1. Create two remote repositories on GitHub and Gitee, optionally importing one from the other.

2. Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone [email protected]:Jackson0714/PassJava-Learning.git

3. Remove the existing remote named origin :

git remote rm origin

4. Add the two remotes with distinct names:

git remote add github [email protected]:Jackson0714/PassJava-Learning.git

git remote add gitee [email protected]:jayh2018/PassJava-Learning.git

Note that the remote names are github and gitee , not origin .

5. Verify the configuration using:

$ git remote -v

which should list both github and gitee for fetch and push.

6. Push to both remotes :

git push github master

git push gitee master

You can also use visual tools such as TortoiseGit to push to all configured repositories.

7. Common issues :

If you see a host authenticity warning, answer yes to continue.

If the push is rejected because the remote has newer commits, either pull the changes first or force‑push with git push gitee master -f .

Following these steps ensures that your local repository stays in sync with both GitHub and Gitee, providing redundancy and broader accessibility.
