Can I push a blog's git repo to GitHub? Yes!

Readme

This repository is the source folder for this blog on Blot. Here's how I got it onto GitHub:

1. Create new blog on Blot, set up git client and clone to my machine per instructions:

git clone https://blot.im/clients/git/end/git.git

2. Go to GitHub, create new empty repository and copy its URL which in my case is

https://github.com/davidmerfield/blotgitblogtest.git

3. On my machine, add remote 'github' with this command

git remote add github https://github.com/davidmerfield/blotgitblogtest.git

4. Verify additional remote location:

git remote -v
> github	https://github.com/davidmerfield/blotgitblogtest.git (fetch)
> github	https://github.com/davidmerfield/blotgitblogtest.git (push)
> origin	https://blot.im/clients/git/end/git.git (fetch)
> origin	https://blot.im/clients/git/end/git.git (push)

5. Now I can git push github or git push origin as needed!

6. It might be worth following these instructions to make git push push to both remotes.
