Hosting the same project on two different repository sites?

Is it possible to host your repository on two or more sites like GitHub and Bitbucket at the same time, or does the 'git remote add origin' command for one site overwrite the command for the other. For example I have a repository hosted on Bitbucket that I created for another coding class. Could I host the same repository on GitHub and push to both when I need to?

Yes, it's quite possible. You simple need different names for the remotes. "origin" isn't anything special, it's just considered by convention to be the name of the main remote. You can create other remotes with other names and then you would push to each one using the remote's name.
