This article assumes that you’re using version 1.8 (October 2012) or later of Git

Creating a Git remote

You can skip this step if you already have one

To create a remote, follow the example below:

git remote add <name> <url>

# example
git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~henriquehbr/some-random-repository

Adding Git providers

Now we’ll add the destinations to where we want to push updates of our repository, in order to do that, follow the example below:

git remote set-url <name> --push --add <url>

# example
git remote set-url origin --push --add https://github.com/henriquehbr/some-random-repository

Note that some Git providers (such as sourcehut) might treat https:// URL’s as read-only, and prevent you from pushing commits when setting a push URL with them

Setting a default remote

You can skip this step if you already have a default remote

git push --set-upstream <remote-name> <branch>

# example 
git push --set-upstream origin main
