Sync 2 peer repositories with SourceTree

Question

I remember when I worked on commend line git over Linux, I was able to sync my repository with a peer repository for, say, integration testing before both of us push to the central or origin git repository.  Can I do similarly with SourceTree?  If so, is there any resources documenting how?

Seth, thanks for responding.  Since I can't find any useful documentation on SourceTree, can you possibly give me the steps using GUI to...

1) Share a local branch to peers

2) Formulate the connection string to access the local branch for a peer to add a remote

Thanks!

Yes, you can use the GUI to add remotes. Under the repository menu, go to "Add remote...". In push/pull menus you'll have the option of which remote to use for the operation. It should default to origin.

So one can't do so via the GUI?  And such use case can only be done via command line?

My actual use case is syncing my Mac with Windows 7 repository which has VPN access to the remote origin (yep, my Mac has no VPN).  How do I get git command line on Windows 7?  [UPDATE: never mind about command line, I see the icon on the toolbar...]
