What about a script/service to mirror Bitbucket and Github (or others) through webhooks or etc? Was just getting my hands on Homebrew after a fresh OS install

  You can push to both at the same time, no need for hooks.

  .git/config [remote "bitbucket"] url = git@bitbucket.org:you/repo.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/bitbucket/* $ git push bitbucket //edit after tinco's comment +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/ -> +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/bitbucket/

    Ah but i meant a global service for public repos, instead of each owner setting up manually

      A remote can have multiple url entries. 'git push origin master' in my case pushes to Bitbucket, then GitHub. Must be manually added through 'git config -e' though. The order is important as it pulls from the first remote URL, while the push is to all.

        i understood that and was aware. What i mean was for a web service that would monitor changes on public repos (commits, tags, branches) and would sync them automatically (mapping accounts, pruning branches, etc).

          What would happen if that service goes down?
          • zemanel 14y ago
            :-) the original and mirror repos would still be available, even if the mirrors would be outdated since the mirror service failure ?

              I know this is just speculative, and in fact I was joking, but to achieve that you either have to: 1) Configure a push hook on the master server, which you need access to. 2) Remove decentralized from DVCS, as your service becomes a new master which then mirrors. 3) Continuously poll (pull) the master server from your mirror service. I can't seem to find any of these three options more desirable than simply adding a new remote, other than being automatic.

                Yes :-) plus the bandwidth and storage would be overkill overtime

    That snippet overrides your remotes/origin branch with what you pull from bitbucket. This might not be what you want. Instead you probably should do: fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/bitbucket/* Unless you really know what you're doing and are just crazy like that :)

      I thought he thinks of a push and forget backup, so I didn't care. but yea, you're right.
