I have to clone a set of projects from one repository and push it then to a remote repository automatically. Therefore i'm using python and the specific module GitPython. Until now i can clone the project with gitpython like this:

def main():
  Repo.clone_from(cloneUrl, localRepoPath)
  # Missing: Push the cloned repo to a remote repo.

How can i use GitPython to push the cloned repo to a remote repo?

it's all in the documentation:

repo = Repo.clone_from(cloneUrl, localRepopath)
remote = repo.create_remote(remote_name, url=another_url)
remote.push(refspec='{}:{}'.format(local_branch, remote_branch))

see also the push reference API. You can avoid the refspec setting if you set a tracking branch for the remote you want to push to.
