Pushing existing git repository to gitolite

I've set up gitolite on my Ubuntu server and can add users, create empty repositories, clone the empty repository, add files, commit locally, and git push origin master to send it to gitolite.

I can also create a project in XCode4, with its own git repository, and commit changes locally.

Now I want to have another copy in gitolite (possibly so others can use, but also as another copy). This is where I'm stuck, and I'm a complete newbie to git (only really have used the XCode git functionality). Can someone direct me?

Solution

You need to add another remote to your existing repository:

git remote add newremote [email protected]:gitolite_repo

These values will be changed to suit your needs:

newremote is the name of the new remote (it's like origin, which you've already been using.)
git is the username
gitolite.com is the server
gitolite_repo is the repo inside gitolite you want to use

When you want to push to origin, you can do that as you always have. When you want to push to the new remote you just do:

git push newremote branch
