Can I connect from VS 2015 to VSTS and GitHub the same time?

I have solution in VS, which connected to VSTS to keep repository there. I know I can connect to GitHub from VS, but I want to keep connection to VSTS at the same time.

So I want to publish to both: VSTS and GitHub from VS.

Is it possible?

Or I need to synchronize repositories as described in this answer?

I prefer to do it from VS.

Update: I use git repo in VSTS.

This is preferable: you can initialize a git repo in your VSTS-managed repo, which means you can use the build phase to check and pull from the Git repo as described in the answer you mention.

That is because, if you chose to connect to connect to a Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) repo, it cannot be a GitHub repo.

You can use Git and TFVC repos in the same team project, but you would still need build commands to synchronize that repo from GitHub, or configure said Git repo to push to two different upstream (TFVC and GitHub) repos.
