Hello Everyone,

My work situation leaves me in a situation where I can clone from my central repo but I can't push there. Is it possible and does it make any sense to have a single remote with one URL that I pull from and another than I push to? I only ask because I was looking at the output of `git remote show` and noticed that there are 2 URLs. If it is possible, how do I do it? I looked in `.git/config` and there's only 1 URL there.

I am aware that I could have 2 remotes and simply consciously remember to only push to the one that I have access to. This is what I usually do but the scenario I describe above seems nicer to me.

Thanks!

git config remote.origin.pushurl <your push url>

(see the git-config(1) man page for more details)

Try "remote.*.pushurl". It's in git-config(1) and in git-push(1) under "Named remote in configuration file".

Thanks, both of you.  That worked like a charm.
