Pushing a branch to multiple remotes

Provided there are two remote repositories (A, B) and there is a branch master (among others). The first repository A has all branches and the other one B has to have one only masterB.

How can I push local branch master to both remote repositories with a single "git push" command ? (mapping A: master->master; mapping B: master->masterB)

tried so far:

[remote "A"]
    url = <urlA>
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/A/*
[remote "B"]
    url = <urlB>
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/B/*
    push = master:masterB
[branch "master"]
    remote = A
    merge = refs/heads/master
    pushRemote = A
    pushRemote = B //this overrides the previous push remote; how can I use both ?

The reference says that multiple 'pushRemote' entries are possible.

Your tutorial does mention:

Then git allows branches to have multiple branch.<name>.pushRemote entries.
You must edit the .git/config file to set them.

That is not apparent from git config branch.<name>.pushRemote

When on branch , it overrides branch.<name>.remote for pushing.
It also overrides remote.pushDefault for pushing from branch <name>.

When you pull from one place (e.g. your upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own publishing repository), you would want to set remote.pushDefault to specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this option to override it for a specific branch.

So managing that case with a script would be easier than tweaking git config settings.
