Experiment

This project is an empty project that I am using 2023-10-26 to test upstreaming in multiple locations.

What I Did

1. I created this project on my work GitHub account and cloned it to my computer.

   The project at this point only has the one remote (most likely titled "origin"). You can see the list of remotes by running the command git remote in your project's folder.

2. I created another Empty Project on a self-host GitLab server with no README (a completely empty project).

3. On my local copy of the GitHub project, I ran the following command:

   git remote add backup https://gitlab.centralfireplace.com/path/whateverproject.git
   

   Now if you run the git remote command, you'll see two remotes.

4. So GitHub Desktop sees the remote, but won't let me switch to it because "A branch with that name already exists". I tried VS Code and it has the option to "Push to..." a specific remote and it works, but it's just as easy to run git push backup. The only problem is that it's a manual process and I'll need to remember to do it.

   There may be ways/work-arounds to do it though...

Nevermind, let's try something else!

So, I recloned the project, made sure it was all working. And then I ran the following command

git remote set-url --add --push origin https://gitlab.centralfireplace.com/roberth/experiment.git

Failed, but gonna try again. I cleared the last change, added the github as a push url (even tho it already was). I pushed thru GHD and it worked. I destroyed the old gitlab repo and created a new one. Ran the updated script again. and now gonna test
