Sometimes you have to move your git repository to another host. In this case I want to move a privately hosted git repository to a brand spanking new github repository.
|
|
|
|
These are four easy steps to get that done:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
git clone --bare git@yourserver.com:project.git
|
|
cd project.git
|
|
git push --mirror git@github.com:ariejan/project.git
|
|
cd .. && rm -rf project.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it. Don't forget to update the `remote` of your working copy accordingly:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:ariejan/project.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Of course, this works with any git server or service, not just Github, although Github is awesome and you should use it.
