How-To

• Check your remote repository info. In this example I have a project pushed to Github

  1$ git remote -v show
  2origin  https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git (fetch)
  3origin  https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git (push)

• If you check your git configuration (PROJECT_NAME/.git/config), you will see:

   1[core]
   2        repositoryformatversion = 0
   3        filemode = true
   4        bare = false
   5        logallrefupdates = true
   6[remote "origin"]
   7        url = https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git
   8        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
   9[branch "dev"]
  10        remote = origin
  11        merge = refs/heads/dev
  12[http]
  13        sslverify = false

• Suppose that you want to add a remote git repository on your Bitbucket project.

  1$ git remote set-url origin --add https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git

• To be able to do controlled Git workflow (e.g. just pull from Github remote or just push to Bitbucket remote), we add remote repository information using git remote.

  1$ git remote add bitbucket https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git
  2
  3$ git remote add github https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git

• Now our project’s Git configuration contains the information of the new repositories just added.

   1[core]
   2        repositoryformatversion = 0
   3        filemode = true
   4        bare = false
   5        logallrefupdates = true
   6[remote "origin"]
   7        url = https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git
   8        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
   9        url = https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git
  10[branch "dev"]
  11        remote = origin
  12        merge = refs/heads/dev
  13[http]
  14        sslverify = false
  15[remote "bitbucket"]
  16        url = https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git
  17        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/bitbucket/*
  18[remote "github"]
  19        url = https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git
  20        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/github/*

• In the sequence of “origin” block, Github remote takes precedence over the Bitbucket one; If you run git pull, it will still pull from only Github. If you want to make Bitbucket as the first source, you can just rearrange the sequence of “url.”

  1$ git remote -v
  2bitbucket       https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git (fetch)
  3bitbucket       https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git (push)
  4github  https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git (fetch)
  5github  https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git (push)
  6origin  https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git (fetch)
  7origin  https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git (push)
  8origin  https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git (push)

• If you want to push your updates to the Bitbucket remote, you can run git push -u bitbucket <branch_name>

  1$ git push -u bitbucket master
  2Username for 'https://<bitbucket_url>': <bitbucket_username>
  3Password for 'https://<bitbucket_username>@<domain>@<bitbucket_url>':

  9Total 32 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0)

• You can do the same with your Github target.

   1$ git push -u github master
   2Username for 'https://github.com': GandhiNN
   3Password for 'https://GandhiNN@github.com':

  10remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (1/1), done.

• Let’s say that you want to set Bitbucket as the default remote for your git push / git pull activities, you need to add the Bitbucket URL as the remote “origin”

  1$ git remote add origin https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git

  1$ git remote -v
  2bitbucket       https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git (fetch)
  3bitbucket       https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git (push)
  4github  https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git (fetch)
  5github  https://github.com/GandhiNN/iot-vernemq-ktig-stack.git (push)
  6origin  https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git (fetch)
  7origin  https://<bitbucket_url>/scm/<bitbucket_project_name>/iot-vernemq-kafka-poc-stack.git (push)

Notes

• To skip SSL verification in your git workflow on your project you can use:

  1$ git config --local http.sslverify false

• To save credentials used by your git workflow on your project you can use:

  1$ git config --local credential.helper store
