In git, you can replace some part of the remote repository address (part of the remote addresses) in all repositories using the global config and also this will be given when setting up a specific repository.
We simplify the move from Github <–> Gitlab <–> Bitbucket
If for example you moved from Github to Gitlab and you have locally many projects in which you need to update remote then you can do it globally until you replace remote in all repositories or again No need to use Github.
For example, we have the following remote
origin https://github.com/xorcare/example (fetch)
origin https://github.com/xorcare/example (push)
to replace it with Gitlab in the background and get such a result
origin https://gitlab.com/xorcare/example (fetch)
origin https://gitlab.com/xorcare/example (push)
need to run the following commands:
# replace address when downloading "fetch"
git config --global url. "https://gitlab.com" .insteadOf "https://github.com"
# replace address when sending "push"
git config --global url. "https://gitlab.com" .pushInsteadOf "https://github.com"
Github -> Bitbucket
git config --global url."https://bitbucket.org".insteadOf "https://github.com"
git config --global url."https://bitbucket.org".pushInsteadOf "https://github.com"
Gitlab -> Bitbucket
git config --global url."https://bitbucket.org".insteadOf "https://gitlab.com"
git config --global url."https://bitbucket.org".pushInsteadOf "https://gitlab.com"
Bitbucket -> Github
git config --global url."https://github.com".insteadOf "https://bitbucket.org"
git config --global url."https://github.com".pushInsteadOf "https://bitbucket.org"
