Hi Antonio,

One easy way is adding a remote in your local (Also is possible by a pipeline script task) and from you local copy to your Github repo.

git remote add originGithub <url another repo github>
#to test can list the remotes you will see origin and originGihub
git remote -v 
git config --list  # this one isn't required if you will do by pipeline

#push your current main branch to github repo origin
git push originGithub main

Cheers,

Luis Arias

Thanks Luis for your answer.
By executing the command below, I see that PR is created into AzureDevOps repo, my need is to push that against the Github repository.

git push originGithub main

You can do like this now:

git pull originGithub main git add . git commit -m "From azdo to Github" git push origin main

Try and you can tell me.

Hey Luis,
just to understand

git pull originGithub main --> pull from ADO to the main branch
git push origin main --> push from github to ADO main branch?

Hi Antonio,

I understand it works, so the explanation:

1.originGithub make reference to your repo azure devops based on that you share on the other message:

origin make reference to your github repository:

Main is your local branch that your using in that moment.

I hope this help, If the information helped address your question, please Accept the answer.
