We have 10+ repos under ~/ and it is a real PITA to push all changes manually to our different remote repositories (some on Bitbucket, others on Github).
There is a great tool called MyRepos written by Debian Developer Joey Hess (well-known for debian-installer, debhelper, git-annex and lots of other popular packages) that allows you to manage multiple VCS repositories with a single command.
To setup mr to work with your repo, first you have to cd into the directory containing your repo and type:
mr register
so myrepos can make a note of the remote repo target.
Once that's done for all the repos you want to manage with mr, exit out of the directories under version control and run your VCS command prefaced by mr to update multiple repos at once. Here's an example of pushing local changes to 7 different remote git repositories:
