Short: Is there a way we can push to multiple remotes simultaneously using Github for Windows GUI.

I am aware of the solution involving creating merged-remotes by editing the config file given here: pull/push from multiple remote locations

What I am looking for is a simple GUI functionality extending the current user-friendly 'sync' and 'publish' option of Github 4 Windows. The settings have a direct option to edit the primary remote (origin). Can I add secondary remotes via that interface.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way currently to publish to multiple remotes at the moment, you can only push/pull to origin.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Such a feature will be hugely appreciated for the already awesome Git for Windows application. – rahulr92 Jun 17 '12 at 20:00
  • Can you tell me why you want to do such a thing? What is your scenario? – Ana Betts Jun 17 '12 at 20:38
  • I wanted to push to my personal github repo as well as an organisation repo. Also I wanted to checkout branches present in the organisation repo. and not present in my personal github repo (origin). – rahulr92 Jun 18 '12 at 05:04
  • Why aren't you just committing to the organization repo? – Ana Betts Jun 19 '12 at 01:08
  • The organisation repo was setup to introduce my colleagues to github and bring our work together. I was hoping to backup my commits and work into my personal repo that they can't alter accidentally. I understand that this is a specific situation but thought that a feature to easily push/pull from multiple repos might come handy in other situations also. – rahulr92 Jun 19 '12 at 10:08
  • I also would like to do development in my organization repo the same way it's done in most open source repos, in which pull requests are opened from branches in forks of the org repo, rather than having all of the developers push to branches within the org repo. – xn. Sep 04 '12 at 22:00
  • @PaulBetts: I'd also like this functionality. My scenario is that I have an existing private Git origin (not GitHub) and I would like to publish my app to AppHarbor which would be the second origin of the same repo. – Robert Koritnik Aug 29 '13 at 10:51

    @RobertKoritnik :cool:, I think the deploy scenario is one of the useful ones to support in future versions of GitHub for Windows – Ana Betts Aug 29 '13 at 11:40
  • @PaulBetts: Is there a feature request somewhere where one can submit such stuff? – Robert Koritnik Aug 29 '13 at 12:59
  • Send in an Email to support@github.com, the dev team reads all the Windows-related ones – Ana Betts Aug 29 '13 at 16:12
