Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 0/3] push: add support for pushing to remote groups
Message-ID: <20260518182721.155070-1-usmanakinyemi202@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20260503153402.1333220-4-usmanakinyemi202@gmail.com>

This RFC series adds support for `git push` to accept a remote group
name (as configured via `remotes.<name>` in config) in addition to a
single remote name, mirroring the behaviour that `git fetch` has
supported for some time.

A user with multiple remotes configured as a group can now do:

    git push all-remotes

instead of pushing to each remote individually, in the same way that:

    git fetch all-remotes

already works.

The series is split into three patches:

  - Patch 1 fix sign-compare warnings in push_cas_option
  - Patch 2 moves `get_remote_group`, `add_remote_or_group`, and the
    `remote_group_data` struct out of builtin/fetch.c and into
    remote.c/remote.h, making them part of the public remote API.

  - Patch 2 extends builtin/push.c to use the newly public
    `add_remote_or_group()` to resolve the repository argument as
    either a single remote or a group, and pushes to each member of
    the group in turn.

Changes in v6:
- fix docs formating
