Git push different branches to different remote repos?

Question

How can I push two branches of the same project to different repos on github?

I have two branches locally:

• master
• develop

On master I have a "coming soon" page that deploys to Github pages and in the meanwhile I work on develop locally.

But now I want to have a preview of "develop" on a different GitHub page, so i thought the best way of doing so would be to push only that branch to a different repo. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Matteo

Answer 1

You can push and fetch anything you want anywhere you've got the access. Just do it: add a remote for the other repo, call it "preview" or something, and git push preview develop . If you also want that history in the original, push it there too.

Answer 2

I don't think you can push one branch to separate repo. You can do either of these things.

1. Either you create a separate project for develop branch and push to a new repo

2. Or You can push master to Repo1, then change remote of your project using

   git remote set-url origin new_url

then push your develop, But this will also push your master - You will have to separately remove that

3. IF both the branches are linked, I don't think you need a separate Git repo
