git remote add private http://gitea.damconsulting.net:3000/peskyadmin/DAM-static-site.git

1. Check Your Current Remote
Since you’ve cloned a project, it already has one remote configured (usually named origin). You can verify this by running:
bash

`git remote -v`

This will show the URL of the public repository you cloned from (e.g., https://github.com/user/public-repo.git).

2. Add a Second Remote
To push to your private repository, you need to add it as a new remote. Let’s call it private. Run:
bash

`git remote add private http://gitea.damconsulting.net:3000/peskyadmin/DAM-static-site.git`



`git remote -v` shows remotes


3. Pull from the Public Remote
To keep your local repository updated with changes from the public remote, use:
bash

`git pull origin main`

Replace <branch> with the branch you’re working on (e.g., main or master). This fetches and merges updates from the public repo into your local branch.


4. Push to the Private Remote
After making your changes locally and committing them (with git add and git commit), you can push them to your private repository:
bash

`git push private main`

This sends your commits to the specified branch in your private repo, not the public one.
