Multi-Remote Push Skill

Push changes to multiple git remotes with per-remote configuration. Supports selective content filtering (exclude paths per remote), branch mapping, and force-push controls.

Quick Start

# Push current branch to all remotes
/sc:push

# Push specific branch
/sc:push main

# Push with path exclusions for a remote
/sc:push --exclude efs:prompts/,secrets/

# Push to specific remotes only
/sc:push --remotes origin,staging

# Dry run to preview actions
/sc:push --dry-run

Behavioral Flow

1. Parse - Extract branch, remote list, exclusions, flags
2. Validate - Check git state, uncommitted changes, remote existence
3. Plan - Build per-remote push plan with exclusions
4. Confirm - Show plan and get user confirmation for force pushes
5. Execute - Push to each remote sequentially
6. Report - Summarize push results per remote

Flags

Phase 1: Parse Arguments

• Branch: First positional arg, or current branch via git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
• Remotes: From --remotes flag, or all configured remotes via git remote
• Exclusions: Parse --exclude remote:path1,path2;remote2:path3 format

Phase 2: Validate Git State

# Verify git repository
git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree

# Get current branch
git branch --show-current

# Check for uncommitted changes
git status --porcelain

If uncommitted changes exist:

• Warn the user
• Ask if they want to commit first or push existing commits only

Validate each target remote exists:

git remote -v

Phase 3: Build Push Plan

For each remote, determine push strategy:

Simple Push (no exclusions)

git push <remote> <branch>

Filtered Push (with exclusions)

When paths must be excluded for a specific remote:

1. Stash uncommitted changes if present
2. Create temporary branch: git checkout -b tmp-push-<remote>-$$ <branch>
3. Remove excluded paths from index: git rm -rf --cached <paths> (ignore errors if paths don't exist)
4. Commit removal: git commit -m "tmp: remove excluded paths for <remote> push" --allow-empty
5. Force push temp branch: git push <remote> tmp-push-<remote>-$$:<branch> --force
6. Return to original branch: git checkout <branch>
7. Delete temp branch: git branch -D tmp-push-<remote>-$$
8. Restore stash if applicable

Present plan before executing:

Push Plan:
  Branch: <branch>

  Remote: origin
    Strategy: direct push
    Command: git push origin <branch>

  Remote: efs
    Strategy: filtered push (excluding: prompts/, secrets/)
    Steps: temp branch -> remove paths -> force push -> cleanup

Phase 4: Confirm

For any remote requiring force push:

• Always confirm with user before executing
• Show exactly what will be force-pushed and why
• Never force push to main/master without explicit user confirmation

Phase 5: Execute Push

Execute push plan sequentially per remote:

1. Push to each remote in order
2. Report success/failure for each
3. On failure: log error, continue with remaining remotes
4. Clean up any temporary branches

Phase 6: Report Results

## Push Summary

| Remote | URL | Strategy | Status |
|--------|-----|----------|--------|
| origin | github.com/user/repo | direct | Success |
| efs | github.com/org/repo | filtered | Success |

**Branch**: <branch>
**Excluded paths**: efs: prompts/, secrets/

Error Handling

Guardrails

• Never force push to main/master without explicit user consent
• Always show push plan before executing
• Clean up temp branches even on failure
• Restore stash even on failure
• Dry run by default for filtered pushes on first use
• Temporary commits never appear in the source branch history

Tool Coordination

• Bash - All git operations
• Read - Inspect .git/config for remote configuration
