Note that you don't have to choose _one_ place.  With distributed
version control systems you can interact with many remote repositories
(though only one would be called "origin" and would be the default
repository).

I for example push both to repo.or.cz and to GitHub.

It is Git convention to use 'project/.git' for a working repository,
which working area (checked out files) in 'project/', while using
'project.git' for name of _bare_ repository, i.e. without working
directory.

  project/.git  ==  project.git
  project/          [no workdir]

The default Git behavior is to push *only* matching branches. With
this workflow you must push a branch explicitly first time. What you
need to do is to use

  $ git push --all

to push all branches, or "git push origin HEAD" to push only current
branch.

This behavior is configurable, either via `push.default` config
variable, or via `remote.origin.push`.
