In academia you often want to keep code in a private repository (such as a free BitBucket repo), then push out to GitHub for greater opensource exposure when you’ve mostly finished the first paper etc. This is easy to do with Git while retaining full commitment history by adding an extra remote. I just did this today, and leave these simple commands here as a bookmark for when I next need to do it.
> git remote add github git@github.com:jarvist/LongSnakeMoan.git
you can then explicitly push out to GitHub via
> git push github master
Check on the status of your remotes with
> git remote -v
